Uninstall software from within in a folder

The application you want to remove might be stored within a folder structure. These applications usually have an uninstaller.

  2. Launch the uninstaller.
  3. When the removal process begins, follow the prompts to make sure the application is uninstalled. These prompts will vary between applications.

Use AppCleaner

Another great option for removing software from your mac is AppCleaner. AppCleaner lets you remove applications simply by dragging the app icon into the AppCleaner window.

Could AppCleaner be used to uninstall itself?
