You can rummage through your system folders and try to delete the files intuitively, but that is unsafe and inefficient. Apple offers rules for naming and storage, and developers are free to abide by them - or not. Apps can trash your Mac.įinding and deleting these leftover folders is tricky business. Sometimes, an app also registers itself in various Mac databases and system services. In addition to the actual app file (.app), each app has a bunch of supporting files with caches, logs, libraries, cookies and the rest placed in separate folders.
There is a downside to simple installation, though: the absence of an uninstaller.
