Just bought another Mac Air. How to get all applications removed except only a few ?

Is there a 3th party application available to get this PC cleaned up? It's new but already full of pictograms.

Would like to see 90% wiped out. Just the operational system plus a handfull of applications is enough.

They don't make that kind of computer yet but some say it is coming, a system where no apps are pre loaded and you download the FREE ones you want.


Open the Applications folder in Finder and click one App at a time if the Delete icon turns black you can delete the app.

If the icon stays grey you can not delete it and should not delete it any other way or you run the risk of damaging the OS.
