Uninstall Mac Software with MacKeeper!
Uninstall software on Mac right now
Now and then we remove various files and apps from our Macs. As a rule, Mac users remove their apps just as ordinary files – by dragging them to the Trash. However, not all Mac apps can be deleted this way. Some of them have a lot of additional components that are left behind and waste space on your Mac’s hard drive. Mac OS doesn’t have any built-in uninstallers, so for such apps it would be sensible to get a separate uninstaller tool. MacKeeper’s Smart Uninstaller is a perfect choice. It will ensure complete removal of your apps, widgets, preference panes and plugins, along with all complementary files.
Why use Uninstall Software on Mac?
Mac programs are not identical in structure. Such programs as Safari or iTunes come as one piece, meaning that each all components of such app come all in one. Therefore as a rule it’s quite easy to dispose of them – empty the Trash, and that’s it. However, some of such apps can have additional widgets or plug-ins installed, and you should check the corresponding folders in your Mac’s Library for odd files.
In addition, there are other apps that consist of multiple components called preference files. Trashing won’t be of much help for such apps, as it will remove only the core part, leaving other files (sometimes huge ones) on your Mac’s disk. There are at least four ways to deal with these leftovers:
- 1) Search the Application Support folder for additional components (watch out for .plist extensions).
- 2) Use Terminal scripts to activate the uninstalling process.
- 3) Use the built-in uninstaller if the app has it.
- 4) Download uninstall software. Mac directories are a goldmine for such tools.
Follow these steps to remove apps from your Mac:
When you put away with an app using the Trash some of its parts will still reside on your hard disk:
- - logs
- - configs
- - preferences
Smart Uninstaller completely deletes:
- - applications
- - widgets
- - plugins
- - preferences panes
The Working Principle of Uninstaller Tools
Uninstaller tools were created specially for applications that contain widgets, preference panes, plug-ins and other additional files. Uninstallers enable you to view a full list of these components and see how much space they take. The size of some of them may shock you. For example, additional components of the GarageBand app take more than 1 GB, whereas its core part takes only about 200 MB. Impressive, isn’t it? If you dragged this app to the Trash, then you would have freed up less than 200 MB of disk space, whereas a huge part would be left, and you wouldn’t have known about its existence! That’s why you should uninstall Mac software of such kind with special tools only.
Why use MacKeeper to Uninstall Software on Mac?
MacKeeper is not just an ordinary app. It’s a whole bunch of clean-up utilities, standalone tools, and online services, each of them being useful in its own way. The Smart Uninstaller tool is not an exception. With just one click it will show you all of your apps, widgets, preference panes and plugins either as a tree or a list. You’ll be able to browse them, examine their components, see how much space they take and remove all of them. No more orphaned files wandering on your hard drive, as MacKeeper does its job neatly and perfectly!
