MacKeeper Knows How to Uninstall Mac Programs!
Time has its impact on everything, even on Mac OS performance. Eventually you will notice that your Mac is not as fast as it used to be. As a rule, this is caused by hard disk overload, and cleanup may be of great help. During the cleanup process first of all you may want to uninstall useless apps, as they take a lot of space. But when you reboot your Mac after trashing all unnecessary apps, you see that it runs not much faster than before. What's the reason? Perhaps the apps haven't been fully uninstalled? You won't face this issue with MacKeeper, a universal solution for your Mac. Its Smart Uninstaller tool completely removes not only apps but also widgets, preference panes and plugins, leaving no junk behind. In addition, MacKeeper's set of hard drive clean-up utilities will constantly keep your Mac fast, clean and healthy.
How to Uninstall Mac Programs?
Mac OS X doesn't have any built-in uninstaller tools. Therefore, when you want to get rid of a program, you would normally drag it to the Trash and empty the Trash afterwards. However, not all Mac programs are packages, i.e. have all their components in one. Safari is an example of a package, whereas such programs as GarageBand and DVD Studio Pro are applications consisting of several components. Trashing will remove only core parts of such apps, but not their components. Sometimes these items take up even much more disk space then the app's core part! Moreover, even bundles can sometimes have additional widgets or plugins! So how to dispose of them? There are several options.
To uninstall apps from your Mac, do the following:
When an app is put into the Trash, these components will still remain on your Mac:
- - logs
- - configs
- - preferences
Smart Uninstaller allows you to completely remove:
- - applications
- - widgets
- - plugins
- - preferences panes
Ways to Uninstall Mac Applications
- 1) Find the components in the Application Support folder of your Mac's Library and trash them as well. As a rule these are preference files with the .plist extension. However, the mentioned folder may not contain all of the components, as they may be hidden.
- 2) Use built-in uninstallers that come with some apps.
- 3) Obtain a tool that will uninstall the apps in their entirety.
The last option seems to be the most convenient and fast one. Special uninstaller apps allow you to explore a full list of apps on your Mac, including their additional components, and see how much space these items take. You can manage these components and decide which of them to leave and which to remove.
