Does this actually un-install this app from my machine, or just launchpad?

Is this process supposed to actually uninstall it completely from my machine? It looks like it is still sitting in the Applications folder after deleting using this method. I want to uninstall it from my machine but be able to re-install in future.

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.8), 2.4GHZ, 4GB DDR2 SDRAM

Hello,


It's only to remove a Mac App Store app. If you want to delete an app you didn't download from the Mac App Store you should do it manually (or with the freeware AppCleaner). Drop the application in the trash, look in your Application Support and Preferences folders to find files related to that application. Thos folders are in your-user-name/Library/.

Hope this will help. 🙂
