How You Can Uninstall Program On Mac OS Sierra

When we talk about uninstalling programs from Mac OS Sierra, it is quite different from uninstalling programs from Windows, because you do not have to go through the uninstall process to get rid of the program. Your Mac concludes you do not want a program immediately you attempt to delete it, so the uninstall takes place automatically with no further instructions from you.

For whoever needs information on how to uninstall programs on Mac, the simplest way to go about this is by dragging the program you wish to get rid of into the Trash and then emptying the trash bin. As soon as the trash bin has been emptied, then the program is uninstalled. I write further on this step below but there are also other ways you can uninstall programs on Mac.

How To Uninstall Programs On Mac OS Sierra:

  1. Open “Launchpad”.
  2. Hold down an application’s icon till it begins to jiggle.
  3. Tap Delete.
  4. For installation of the other apps, drag the apps into the Trash folder.
  5. Open the Trash folder and choose Empty.

For whoever is not certain, the trash bin can be found on the far right of the dock, and you can know just by looking at it, if it contains anything or not.

How To Uninstall A Program On Mac OS Sierra:

  1. Exit every program.
  2. Open Finder.
  3. Head to the Apps folder.
  4. Drag the chosen program you wish to uninstall to the Trash folder.
  5. Open the Trash folder and choose “Empty” from under the search bar.

For whoever is not certain, the Finder icon can be seen on the far left of the dock. It resembles a smiling face in blue.

Getting into the finder is the way to see all your folders, not only your Trash folder.
