Hello Today I am going to show you how to perantly delete things off your mac computer. This will make your computer faster and remove things that are useless. Also, I will show you a program I use to delete applications, without having to look for them.

Steps

1. Open Terminal

2. Once in Terminal type "sudo rm -r" without the quotes. Yes "sudo" sommands can mess up your computer, but not if you know how to use them.

3. After the "-r" hit the spacebar then drag all of the items you don't want into terminal.

Nice tut bro. But an easier way to do it is to just download CleanMyMac. Then all you have to do is drag files/apps that you don't like into it and it will delete them. It's easier than having to enter a few commands every time.

Plus CleanMyMac routinely cleans junk off your computer to make it faster.
