Uninstalling Apple Default Applications
It is prohibited to delete standard Apple applications, due to the fact that the removal of built-in applications may damage the viability of the system. Although you can download Safari or iTunes from the official Apple website, other important programs are not available for restoration. Apple doesn’t allow you to delete its necessary apps. For these reasons, App Cleaner & Uninstaller also does not allow the deletion of necessary apps.
Resolving Issues When Some Applications Cannot Be Uninstalled
Sometimes you may get a message that the app cannot remove an application’s files. There are several reasons for this:
- There are running processes in the background related to the app.
- The apps have kernel extensions.
- The files are protected from removal by System Integrity Protection (SIP).
- Some subfolders in the ~/Library are protected from changes.

Restoring Apps From the Trash
