Thank you Craig. Finally re-found my Library again thanks to your instruction---after YEARS of not knowing where it went. Found game apps& files that have been following me to my new iMacs since my now 23 year old son was a kid!!

Thanks for the tutorial. I’m new to mac as I inherited my late dads 2017 imac 27”. Had fun erasing the hard disc reinstalling latest version of Ventura when you have to fight all the Mac I.D and password security they make you go through. I put in anther 16 gb of ram for total of 24 gb which is so easy to do on on these macs and that’s made it more responsive. I’ve always been a pc user and windows has all those right click functions that Mac doesn’t. It means you have to have a list of keyboard shortcuts to do anything bar simple selecting programs etc. I can’t install my printer as there is no Mac software for it and after trying some later model printer software that didn’t work and deleting the printer the Mac won’t even recognise a printer now. I’m hoping there is left over fragments of the software that needs to be all cleared out to make it recognise a printer???🤗🤗🤗

You will get used to the Mac and love it I promise you. The Mac does have right-click functions but you need to turn them on in the system settings and then it will act more like a Win PC. Yes, Mac does take specific printer models so sometimes it's hard to use an old printer but usually there are drivers. Good luck with everything.

@@craigneidel I will have to look into those right click function settings. It’s been a big learning curve going from pc to Mac and I’m learning how things work on Mac OS. Just a bit frustrating when you know pc’s inside out and things don’t work the same on Mac but good for the brain on a 68 yr old. 😀

Thank you for this clear presentation. I've now made a screenshot of the places to go to to search for extra files. I understand your distaste for uninstaller apps. I have, however, used one of those, App Cleaner, for years with no problem after seeing it reviewed favourably on several Mac-orientated websites. It's freeware/donationware and distributed by Freemacsoft. There are other uninstallers out there but I haven't tried them and can't vouch for them. I will now be using it as before but checking that it's done a good job by referring to your list!

I'm not sure about that and it sounds almost like a virus. Try going into the settings and make sure it doesn't open up when the Mac launches and that could fix it.

"sudo pacman -R macos or "sudo apt remove macos" or "suso dnf remove macos". Arch / Debian / Fedora if is installed via the package manager. On Linix you have more control, anyways I wanted to know how ro uninstall software on macOS.

@@craigneidel I know, is just that is little weird to uninstall apps on Apple macOS, and Finder hides the full path on the system. In case someone use brew then is possible "brew remove package"

What if you don’t have an options key? I am not using an apple keyboard.

Yes, it is pretty easy for Apples issued using the App store but harder for Apps you download on the Web.

It drives me crazy why Mac os and those engineers are not making two unninstal process, a short and a deep unninstal. All the bullshit about security, yet the force you to dl 3rd party software from unknown publishers to cleanly uninstal program or just doing it by hand as if we were in 1980. It's just suck.
