In normal cases Mac users just need to simply drag and drop the target app to the Trash and then empty the Trash to perform the standard uninstallation.

Generally speaking, most Mac applications are separate bundles that contain the executable and any associated resources for the app, and therefore users can easily remove any unwanted software (if they are installed properly) from their Macs.

These vestiges can be very small in size, thus leaving them alone may not affect your Mac performance, yet they can also be a large chunks of useless files that occupy a large portion of your hard drive space.

Even for the experienced users, they may also get lost when trying to uninstall a problematic, stubborn or even malicious application.

In this post we will discuss the following questions: (1) What is the correct way to uninstall VLC Media Player (2) How to ensure all its accompanying components are removed safely And (3) is there a shortcut for both Mac novices and experts to take to accomplish VLC Media Player removal effortlessly.

To deactivate an app, right click its icon in the dock and select Quit option (or choose VLC Media Player Quit VLC Media Player on the Menu bar).

If VLC Media Player cannot be quit normally, you can select the app in Activity Monitor, click the large red Quit Process button in the left corner and click Force Quit button in the pop-up dialog.

Most 3rd party apps can be smoothly uninstalled in that way, but you cannot delete built-in apps by doing this.

Some apps installed using the Mac package installer will prompt you for a password when you try to move it to the Trash.

Any time you change your mind and wanna undo the deletion of apps or files, just right click the item in the Trash and select Put Back option.

Then click the X that appears on the left upper corner of VLC Media Player to perform the uninstall.

Once you click the X icon, the uninstallation of VLC Media Player will be handled immediately, and there is no need to empty the Trash afterwards.

Those apps will install additional software to provide extended functions, or place library files and associated application dependencies elsewhere in OS X.

You can manually delete all the accompanying components as well, but it would be better to run the specialized uninstaller to fully remove the application alone with its bundled software or associated items.

As for some apps that are built in macOS, you can either run commands in the Terminal to delete it, or try the uninstall tool offered in the last section of this post.

Well, even though completely uninstalling apps on OS X is much more simple than that on Windows, you may need to check if there are support and preference files left on your hard drive after VLC Media Player has been deleted.

VLC Media Player vestiges may not do much harm to your system but do take up a certain disk space.

Therefore, if you are not gonna use VLC Media Player any more, these remnants can be deleted permanently.

Apart from these files, VLC Media Player may also scatter its components like login items, startup daemonsagents, or kernel extensions around the system.

For instance, some antivirus and security software will install additional kernel extensions which are by default located in SystemLibraryExtensions.

For the leftovers that are not obvious to identify, you might do a Google search for the app components, and perform the removal carefully.
