- In the Finder menu, select the Applications folder on the left sidebar.
- This will display all the applications installed on your MacBook. Scroll through the list to find the app you wish to delete.
- Once located, you have a couple of options. You can either drag the app to the Trash icon in the dock, or right-click (or control-click) on the app and select Move to Trash.
- After you’ve moved the app to the Trash, click on the Trash icon to open it.
- To permanently delete the app, click Empty Trash. Be sure that you really want to get rid of it because this action cannot be undone.
