Definitely made my day better, as a new Mac user, I find this video very helpful and informative. Glad there is such a community out there to help out new users!
@anandgoud4120 - I'm glad my video helped you but don't forget I produced many videos about Mac already so good idea is to watch it. And best thanks would be if you share my videos on forums/socials so it can help to more people and that will in return help to me to produce for you more quality content and still for free.
I downloaded and app then changed my mind and uninstalled it thinking that was it. Came to you video and did what you instructed and was surprised that I had files in the system!! Thank you for teaching us about the system files and how to get rid of them. New subscriber here!
Good video. I would make sure to select "Filename" after typing in the search term in the search box. That will search only filenames. If you select "Everything" when searching, it searches inside files as well, so you may get results where for example Logitech has written "Illustrator" in one of it's config files for their keyboard settings. This you want to avoid deleting. So choose "Filename" and in the search results, click once on each file and check the file path so you don't delete something important.
Great video! Thank you for not touting the solution as "just install this app that uninstalls apps" as so many other videos have done. I also appreciate the breakdown followed by "and here's what I do" 👍🙏

Very helpful. Thanks for this. Can you also recommend an app that will find and delete any leftover files/folders from apps that were previously uninstalled/deleted improperly?
THANK YOU FOR THIS! May I ask for an easy way as to how to find some other files that would be "missing" their application because I'd deleted their application years ago and don't remember the names of the apps at this point?

Can you make a video how to delete a Apple application the right way... It happened to me: I wanted to upgrade Safari so I deleted it but the new one didn´t worked at all, so I wanted to go back to my ols version ... mmm ... it was imposible to make it run again!! So I have no Safari to navigate the web ... grrrr ... Thank you for your help Morgonaut !!!
"Can you make a video how to delete a Apple application the right way" - ??? This videos is exactly about the right way! "I wanted to upgrade Safari so I deleted it" - that was stupid idea. You should never delete any system apps! Simple system upgrade takes care of all of that
@@morgonaut ok, but I never trust upgrades with my Hackintosh as you never know what will happend after that ... but the question is can Safari run again on my OS or better: forget it?
you are commenting under video on my MACINTOSH youtube channel. You should rather comment on my HACKINTOH youtube channel where I made videos about how to setup hackintosh which can run updates without any problems
While checking the storage capacity and space available, I see so mention “system data” in the whole utilised space section and it is pretty large and I am not able to clear it any way…
@@morgonaut Thank you angel for responding promptly, on my "apple store" of apple icon(top far left) messages like 2-3 update for iMovie, keynote, grammar, keep on coming which are not relevant for me. There is no way for rejecting them, except for what you have suggested. I am a senior citizen of 74 year not good with technology get into panic what might happen if I don't update. So I should let them accumulate! Incidentally, I stumble on your site for the first time and was able to delete two apps. Thanks a million for the help, I have added you on bookmarks
it shows updates only for apps you have installed. So it's good idea keep your apps up to date. I don't know why you want those apps to be old and vulnerable
@@morgonautThose apps came with the computer, installed. I don't have any idea about their vulnerability, just keep on updating more space of my hard disk would be consumed. Many of these apps are not relevant to my use. Again when the update comes, is there any way I could say "not needed" or just erase those updates, they are annoying to say the least. Thank you.
darling, don't overthink it. Simply keep it updated. And if you so much wanna get rid of some apps then get rid of it. But don't get rid of system apps
short and helpful - NICE

Thank you helped me solve a problem with an app that wasn't updating properly 100% recommend
Happy to help Victoria
Wonderful to see the options - thank you. I'm curious to know how to check if the files are shared with another app? For example apple's "News" app
THANK YOU FOR THIS! May I ask for an easy way as to how to find some other files that would be "missing" their application because I'd deleted their application years ago and don't remember the names of the apps at this point?
not any easy way for this, simply look at Aplication Support folder, LaunchAgents and Preferences in System and User preferences and clean it up

@@morgonaut I already share to my friend 😁
btw I want to ask this..
(I got this from anydesk website)
1. Move AnyDesk from the “Applications” folder to Trash
2. Delete the (2a) ~/.anydesk/ and (2b) /etc/anydesk/ folders for standard AnyDesk clients
3. Delete the (3a) ~/.anydesk-ad_/ and (3b) /etc/anydesk-ad_/ folders for custom AnyDesk clients

- but how to find (2b, 3a, and 3b)? when I type it on "Go to:" no one showing
or just remove the 2a is absolutely done?

@vaserlatigo - "~/" stands for your user folder and inside of it should hidden folder called ".anydesk"
@@morgonaut oh wow, thank you for the information! 👍
@vaserlatigo - you're welcome. But first of all you should never install any anydesk crap on your computer :)
So even if AppCleaner lists all the other associated files, we should still double check that they are not used by other apps before deleting?
@micsnz - as I said in this video I combine all of those methods to get the best result. You can do obviously what you want :)
Perfect I'll try
