Delete or uninstall apps on Mac
When you delete or uninstall an app, the storage space it was using becomes available for other items.
Deleting or uninstalling an app doesn't remove any documents or other files that you created with the app, though you might need the app in order to open such files. Deleting or uninstalling an app also doesn't cancel any subscription that you purchased with the app.
How to delete or uninstall an app on Mac
If the app is currently open, quit the app before continuing.
Locate the app in the Finder.
Most apps are in the Applications folder, which you can open by clicking Applications in the sidebar of a Finder window. Or choose Applications from the Go menu in the menu bar.
To show the app in the Finder, you can also search for the app with Spotlight, then press and hold the Command (⌘) key while double-clicking the app in the Spotlight search results.
Find out whether the app includes an "Uninstall" or "Uninstaller" app, which might be in the same folder as the app itself. If your app includes an uninstaller, it’s the best way to delete the app and any login items, extensions, or other data the app might have stored in other locations. Some apps offer an uninstall (or remove or reset) feature as a menu item or setting within the app.
If your app doesn’t include an uninstall app or feature, manually drag the app to the Trash.
If you're asked for a user name and password, enter the name and password of an administrator account on your Mac. This is usually the name and password that you use to log in to your Mac.
To permanently delete the app and make its storage space available for other items, choose Finder > Empty Trash from menu bar in the Finder.
If you can't delete the app
You can't use the Finder to delete apps that are required by your Mac. This includes many apps that are installed by macOS, such as Mail, Music, Books, Notes, Podcasts, Maps, News, and Stocks.
If you can't delete an app because your Mac says that it's in use, make sure that the app isn't open. If necessary, restart your Mac or start up in Safe Mode, then try again.
