Preview doesn't close

I had been having troubles with the Preview app, it takes to long to open a PDF and when I finish ussing it and I want to close it, it doesn't, and then I always have to force quit, and it says that I can send a report to Apple, all the time and its is a time taker.

Does someone know what is happening?

Can I remove it somewhere and download it again?

Sorry for my English :D

Try starting your mac in Safe Mode this will run repairs and clears out caches.

How to use safe mode on your Mac – Apple Support

The mac will take a long time to boot into Safe Mode, about 10 minutes so be patient.

When in Safe Mode run a few tasks, the mac will seem slow and the display maybe

glitchy but that is normal the mac is running on its bare bones.

Restart normally and see if it has improved the performance of Preview.
