Heaven or Hell
Does anyone know the best way to delete an application ?
Should you just drag the App icon to the trash ?
or are there other related files you should get rid of as well ?

thanks!
 
Just drag the app icon to the trash and delete. ...Yes, there will be some residual files, but they are often small and insignificant; you won't cause any harm by just leaving them behind.

Or, you can install an app like AppZapper, which will locate and delete these files as well. http://www.appzapper.com/
 
i have appzapper.

but some apps are not listed in the genie list in appzapper.

and some apps are not even listed in the applicatons list.

so how do i uninstall these??

some are vsts.... some are kinda apps.......

i have no idea how to uninstall them.....they are all over the place.

any ideas? do i just go on a hunt using spotlight and manually delete files??
