Hi there alizonia,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Thanks for reaching out to us from the linked article: How to uninstall apps on your Mac

Feel free to reach back out if you have any questions.
Have a great day!

Thank you so much for the helpful answer. I have a MacBook Air and really need to keep my storage under control....if you have any other tips to keep my machine running smoothly I'd really appreciate them!
Hello again alizonia,
Certainly! You can use the Activity Monitor to keep your MacBook Air running as smoothly as possible. It tracks what processes are being used, what could be causing poor performance, and what needs to be disabled to correct any problems. Get more info on using this function here:
We hope this helps you.
Cheers!
