The uninstall on a Mac just leaves a ton of garbage behind though. Dragging an app to the trashcan to uninstall is somewhat intuitive, but doesn’t remove the app from startup. Which is a bit messy because then I need to install software to clean that up.
Windows isn’t necessarily a lot better on that front, but it feels better ( the cleanup part )
Yes. It’s not running anymore. But the entry lingered in the startup section ( for whatever reason ).
I’ve also had a case where starting my Mac gave me “file cannot be found” notification, and that was also related to software that was removed. Running a cleanup tool removed entries I couldn’t remove myself (ui) and the error disappeared.
