This section will focus on the manual method to uninstall Max on your macOS computer. It is not a simple thing to uninstall any apps within macOS computers. There are various reasons for this.
First of all, there are no built-in uninstallers within macOS for removing apps. Windows is different. There’s a control panel where you can remove all the apps for Windows computers. In addition, macOS computers typically leave a lot of residual files and folders within the computer. Thus, a complete removal isn’t implemented. A lot of space taken up by these residual data will gobble up your storage space.
Below are the steps you should follow in order to manually uninstall Max from Cycling '74 on your macOS computer:
- Visit your macOS computer’s folder for Applications. Locate the Max Cycling '74 app and delete it. So, you should move it towards your Mac’s Trash.
- Now, you have to visit the main hidden Library folder of your Mac computer. In order to open that folder, press the menu bar within your macOS computer. Press the option for the Go menu. Within the drop-down list, select the option that says Go To Folder.
- A new window will be displayed. To open the Library folder, type the command
~/Library/
within the search bar. Once that is done, press the button for Go. - Now, the folder for Library will appear. Within this folder, you have to locate all related files and folders of Max Cycling '74. To do that, visit the subfolders below:
/Application Support/Cycling '74
/Saved Application State/com.cycling74.Max.savedState
- Make sure you delete all files and folders above. Move them towards your Mac’s Trash.
- Now, locate other related files within your computer. These subfolders below can be found within your main Library folder:

Now, you must have learned that the manual method to remove the app from your computer is very tedious. What if you remove important service files? Or what if you delete system files for your macOS?
