How can I clean the cache after deleting an app?

I need to uninstall some apps from my devices and I need to clean the cache as well.

Are there any uninstaller available for doing that?

Thanks

I personally have never had a problem using a vendor provided uninstaller. However, to remove unwanted apps, I normally use the app AppCleaner. I have found it to be safe if properly used and it can remove all of the app's various bits and pieces. You can clean the Mac's caches by doing a Safe Mode restart. I find it a good idea to periodically do this for maintenance.

Which apps...?


If third party then look for an official uninstaller

If in doubt refer to the developers website; search Support/Help/FAQ/known issues/compatibility.


Contact a third party vendor

Reboot.




How to uninstall apps on your Mac

I need to uninstall apps like Wwise and Unity, and software manager for MIDI interfaces and similar. Among those, only Unity has a proper official uninstaller, I will look at Wwise website in detail. However, what worries me are those software installed to use external devices, but I guess checking the manufacturer website it is the starting point.


Thanks for your help
