[QUOTE="MJGUK, post: 209635"] Firstly welcome to the Forums and the Mac platform :) Glad to hear you are enjoying your new Mac! The best way to remove software on a Mac is: 1) Find the Application and Simply Drag it to the Trash can! That is it! :O Application uninstalled! 2) Although the Application will undoubtedly now be removed, sometimes applications can leave the odd file behind (relating to prefs etc). Although they will be tiny and do no harm, if you want to remove them simply perform a Spotlight search or such for the App and it will show any relating files. Just delete them! ....That is it! And I should stress that 1 is really all you need to do, 2 is just optional really. There are also Apps like 'AppZapper' which do that for you, but really its not that hard to drag it to the trash it is? :D Anyway, Good Luck and Enjoy your new Mac :) [/QUOTE]
