Press and hold the Option key, then click and hold any app until the app jiggle, and click the close to the app that you want to delete and install, and click Delete to confirm.

An application that has been used on macOS for some time, it will generate many cache files, log files, settings files and other junk files. When uninstalling it from the computer, we need to completely delete the application itself and the related application files.

We recommend using PowerSuite to completely uninstall these applications downloaded outside the AppStore, which is a third-party disk utility for Mac. It has 6 features, including Clean up, Startup Boost, Find Duplicate Files, App Uninstaller, Eraser and Automatic Clean up custom objects.

1. Download and install PowerSuite on the Mac
