Fundamentally, whether it's a Macbook or Windows, if you have installed software, you need to uninstall it. The process of uninstalling applications on Macbook is indeed different from Windows; the way to uninstall computer software varies significantly between MacOS and Windows. It's precisely for this reason that many Macbook users encounter difficulties when uninstalling applications on Macbook, and even those who are experienced with it acknowledge that uninstalling software on Macbook is much more challenging than on Windows.
For this very reason, in this article, Mytour will guide new Macbook users on how to effectively and safely uninstall applications on Macbook, ensuring that the instructions are easy enough for readers to follow.
Guide to Deleting Applications on Macbook
Step 1: First, look at the Menu bar on your Macbook screen, click on GO and select Applications, where you can manage the apps and software present on your Macbook.
Step 2: In this step, we will select and delete applications on Macbook. Here, Mytour will choose the CleanMyMac 3 app by clicking on the app, then pressing the Settings icon and selecting Move to Trash.
Move to Trash is the action of moving a file, an application, to the trash bin of your Macbook. It's similar to the recycle bin on Windows.
Step 3: Look down at the bottom right corner of the screen where you'll find the trash can icon. Here, click and hold on the trash can until the Menu prompt appears, then click on Empty Trash to delete all files inside.
Deleting files, including applications, is equivalent to uninstalling. The mechanism of installing and uninstalling applications on Macbook is quite simple yet much safer than Windows because Macbook doesn't allow users or software to intervene too deeply into the system.
Step 4: A notification appears immediately after you execute the delete command. The system will ask again about deleting applications on Macbook, you just need to select Empty Trash to proceed.
Afterwards, you can double-check if the application has been completely deleted by going to the search section and typing the application name. Here, you'll see the app listed as 0 items, meaning everything related to this app has been removed. The trick to uninstalling applications on Macbook is now complete.
So we've just completed the process of uninstalling applications on Macbook, which makes the system lighter, frees up a lot of space, and even affects the user's speed. Therefore, for any applications that are not used or no longer needed, you should uninstall them from Mac OS immediately.
Furthermore, having multiple applications running on Macbook is not ideal, as some background processes drain the battery. That's why we should only keep the applications and software that are frequently used to increase the battery life of the Macbook. This is especially crucial for the 2017 versions of Macbook, where battery life is often criticized for being inadequate compared to previous models. Hence, extending the battery life of the Macbook for prolonged usage is paramount.
