If you use a Mac for any period of time, you will slowly accumulate a raft of applications. But what happens when you want to remove an app you no longer need or use? In this scenario, users are often left to discover third party uninstallers, such as Pearcleaner, CleanMyMac or AppCleaner. Reviews across the Internet have been mixed, with regard to their effectiveness at removing all traces of a given app. (Personally speaking: I’ve used all three, and haven’t had any issues.)
But it brings me to my main point: Why doesn’t Apple include its own uninstaller app?
In the year of 2026, the exercise of removing apps is left to the user. And it’s not as simple as dragging an application into the Trash.
How very un-Apple like.
