Hello, I am looking for way to uninstall recently installed software. After a recent download, how can I find what was downloaded and uninstall / remove it?
From a previous help article, I saw that you can find a list of recent installations in System Information > Software > Installations or under Logs > Installer log, but I'm wondering from here how I can take action to remove whatever was installed.
Thank you in advance for your guidance!
First, visit the developer’s website and see if they have provided any uninstall instructions. Usually this is not the case, but sometimes they have a guide for complete removal of the app.
If the developer has not provided instructions, your best choice is to delete the application file by dragging it to the trash. Trying to clean out the files yourself or using third-party “cleaning” software can result in catastrophe if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Be Extremely Carefully about using Uninstaller for anything. Some tend to remove elements of the System Files leaving the Operating System to malfunction and or Not Functioning at all.
Since the User ( you ) are in control of the computer, what do you believe was installed at you do not want on the computer ??
Im' using AppDelete
