Uninstalling applications in Mac

Although the Mac OS platform is known for its simplicity in removing applications, by just the mere 'thrashing' of its single application file, nonetheless there are application files of some applications that will still 'linger' around way after the main application file has been deleted, ala the Windows platorm.

And this is where the freeware application called AppZapper is a godsend. Installing it is a breeze, and it doesn't take a huge amount of real estate space in your hard disks. Just activate it, move the required application that needs to be removed into the windows (see picture), click ok to remove all of the removed application's files, and walla, all is done. Try it!

About me

I am an educator and a firm believer in shaping each child to his or her fullest potential. I believe that each should be exposed to the many myriads of professions and subject matter as s/he possibly can, and then to work from there to see how her/his potential can be realised. I am a firm believer in leveraging technology to deepen the students' learning in and out of the classrooms, and then to nurture them to be active citizens, and (co)creators of content.

I love photography, especially photo-journalistic works, and subscribes to the idea that each photo tells a deeper story. You can check some of my works in my Behance profile.

I love to travel whenever I have the opportunity, and am wishing that I can tick off all the places that I want to visit in my bucket list.

A firm believer and practitioner of design thinking, I love the idea that design, in its many forms, should be about the people, their experiences, the exploring of the many design facets that are embedded and intrinsic to making something well-designed, regardless whether it is a physical product, or a digital artefact for the web.
