Unsupported app

Question

Unsupported app

The size of my unsupported apps seems to be significant. The big ones run from 40-60 MB. So, I think removing them would be helpful.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Depending upon the identity of those anonymous, unsupported applications, a free, or fee 64-bit upgrade may be available from the original vendor site, or without a formal, 64-bit uninstaller tool, you may not be fully rid of them by simply dragging the applications to the Trash.

Thanks for the reply. Now I'm just a little concerned about what I've already deleted, LOL. The apps were not anonymous (Microsoft badges, QuickTime, Adobe). They are apps migrated from my old Mac (2015). I recognized them as having not been used for quite a while, and, if Mac's OS doesn't support them, I can't see how I need them. They weren't system files.

Fingers crossed!

They were QuickTime, Adobe and Microsoft apps with esoteric badges (names). I hadn't used them for years. I think I'm okay, thanks.

Its always a good idea, and especially with migration to Catalina, that you migrate just user data, and not applications, particularly when those apps may be 32-bit, or simply incompatible.
