Clearing 32-bit app in anticipation of Catalina I run a late 2016 13-inch MBP with 8 GB ram, 256 HD and all updates up to date. I ran a check and made a list of the 32-bit apps on the machine and found about 24. Many of these I found and either update or got rid of If I didn't really use them. Others, I can't find as they don't appear in the apps listing or appear to be things like update apps or apps I thought had been deleted with App Cleaner. How do I find these apps and get rid of them? Will Catalina provide a way to do this? EMS

32 bit apps post Catalina upgrade Two questions: 1) when you update to the new operating system, beyond not working what happens to the 32 bit apps as part of the upgrade - are they removed? 2) if not, what is the most efficient way to delete 32 bit apps that will (soon) no longer run? Thanks in advance

Depends on the Apps.

Some can simply be dragged to the trash from the Applications folder in Finder, others will require you use their uninstaller App to remove them.
