Clean Uninstall On macOS

An uninstall is destructive. Identify ownership first, prefer the official uninstaller, and separate application removal from optional user-data cleanup.

Workflow

1. Resolve the exact product, installation method, active processes, services, extensions, and user or system scope.
2. Consult current official uninstall guidance.
3. Scan likely residue and classify each path by confidence, ownership, recoverability, and user-data risk.
4. Present an exact removal plan. Require approval before deletion or package manager writes.
5. Use recoverable removal where practical and execute only approved targets.
6. Verify absence without treating unrelated same-name files as residue.
