As in download from the App Store again? Sorry, but English is not my first language and I am having trouble understanding. Do I boot in recovery mode and select "Install", or do I perform everything through the App Store?


I am sorry about all the questions; and thank you again - your help is greatly appreciated.

Well, for starters I would recommend not installing crappy program you will need to uninstall later.


Then again, programs that are "installed" just by drag and drop from a DMG, you can just throw them to the trash.


Programs that are installed via an installer, usually have an uninstaller. If you cant find it you can consult the developer and they have instructions.

My approach was to install Find Any File from App Store and then search for CleanMyMac and delete every file and folder found.
