Types of programs on Mac
In the macOS system there are two types of applications or programs;
1.- They have their own installer. If you drag this application to the trash to delete it, it would not be the correct way, since you would be leaving a large number of files (garbage) stored on our computer.
2.- Those that are containers. This type of application can be dragged to the trash to eliminate it, since we will be eliminating the entire file folder of the program.
How to uninstall programs on Mac completely
We are going to see different methods so that you can use the one that is most comfortable or easiest for you to uninstall programs on Mac:
Method 1. Checking if there is a file in the application folder for uninstallation.
This should be the first step that we should apply, but be careful, not all programs have it, so we go to the installation folder to see if the uninstallation file is found. If so, use it, this would be the correct way to remove the program on Mac.
