    with Apple, anything is possible. Even the simpliest thing can be turned into a harsh task. Respect those big brains!

      I mean Windows apps leave tons of left over files and is far harder than this to clean.

      you've got to be kidding. Mac has always been the best at this. try deleting something off a PC... its still there 15 years later or you'll kill the OS doing it properly @giangnguyentranlam5632

      I agree! Apple says it’s so easy and I follow what they say and everything gets messed up! So tired of this crap all the time with my Mac 🖥

    I have a question. I uninstalled creative cloud and cleared any lingering files or folders. But I didn’t know I have to restart the macbook after doing this. I kinda shutdown my laptop. Is that still ok?
    Its my first time having a macbook. I’m using a macbook pro M1 2021

    @Agora346 Год назад +1

    Thanks, this was the clearest, most helpful - I could follow it. All I had left of iMovie in the system files that wouldn't go into the trash was one folder. When I opened It, it was plug ins and sounds. Should I get rid of this and, if so, how? Maybe it's linked to other apps?

  • @aodwyer
    @aodwyer 2 года назад +2

    What about the "Apple News" app. When I finished the "system files are included" part, I got a real lot of folders and files. Some were even for "Microsoft News" which I am fine with deleting. But with so many files, I can't tell which ones are actually needed and which can be deleted. Thanks

    • @smylmvv
      @smylmvv Год назад

      You need to do these steps:
      FIRST: You need to downgrade the OS X / OS mac version and install on a pendrive and boot it. ()If you want to keep your Volume as a ONE partition.
      SECOND: (The most important thing if you have any documents, uplaod to a cloud or pass to an USB, SD, etc.) Connect your pendrive on the mac, restart you mac and put the ATL button to see all the volumes and select the Pendrive Volume that your'e going to install the OS version.
      THIRD: Format all the volume to one and now re-install the os version that you put in your pendrive and it's all.
      Better search any youtube tutorial video, they're thousands of tutorials. lol

  • @bryan_ferrer
    @bryan_ferrer 2 года назад +1

    Interesting. I do the "system files" directly and not adding the "name > matches". I wanted to uninstall chrome and I noticed that typing chrome and google chrome gives different results. When I do not include the name matches and typing chrome, there are associated files like pdf files and javascript that has diff destination files not directed to chrome. Adding the name>matches and typing chrome seems to remove associated files that I mentioned. It has fewer files though which I hope is more accurate?

    This was EXCELLENT! However, I have already trashed some camera icons/apps and when I go to use a third party conference app it tells me to remove cameras. How do I approach this if I've already deleted those apps (a month ago)? I did not follow your steps above but no longer have the app icon in my lists...help!
