[QUOTE="McBryn, post: 1623841, member: 296919"] Hi I need some advice on how to correctly remove unwanted Apps (user installed). Moved to a MBP about 2 years ago after many years on a Win platform (wish I had done it earlier !!) anyway. From those previous years I am used to using an Uninstaller provided by the OS. On the Mac I am not at all sure the correct way of doing the same thing and clearing out all the associated files/folders. In most cases I see there is no 'Uninstall' option for the majority of apps. At the moment I simply use Finder select and Right Click to find pkg contents and send this to Trash after which I delete the app in Applications. However I am aware the some Apps create folders/files in system Libraries. So how do I clear out all the stuff ? Or Can I run an App to hunt down these elusive bits & pieces. Many thanks in advance for the help. Cheers Bryn [/QUOTE]
