Part 1. First Step Before Uninstalling Pages from Mac

Apple Inc.'s native word processing tool, Pages, is available and accessible for macOS. It's included in the iWork productivity package and operates on macOS and iOS; it may also be downloaded right from the Mac App Store. Pages for Mac, Keynote for Mac, and Numbers for Mac are all accessible on the Mac App Store. However, macOS High Sierra or higher is required. Many iWork functions aren't available if you're using an older Mac.

When compared to Microsoft Word, Page lacks capabilities such as mail merge, non-contiguous text selection, sophisticated find/replace tools, and the ability to print comments, and the document file format is not universal. You've come to the correct spot if you want to uninstall Pages on your Mac for any reason.

To start with the uninstallation, there is one thing you should do first before you uninstall Pages from Mac. Some users may overlook the importance of shutting down the software before uninstalling it. If the program is already open, choose one of the following choices to exit Pages:

1. In the Dock, right-click the Pages icon and select Quit;
2. To exit the current program in Pages, use Command-Control-Q;
3. Open Activity Monitor, pick any Pages-related process under Process Name, click the X in the top left corner, and then click the Quit button.

Following that, you may remove Pages using one of the following methods:

Part 2. Manually Uninstall Pages from Mac

Most Mac users are familiar with this manual procedure since they frequently drag and drop things to the Trash. Dragging and dropping the Pages icon to the Trash does not completely remove the software from your Mac. There are still junk files scattered all around different folders, and there is still a need to remove them all to prevent problems that could occur in the future. To completely uninstall a program from a Mac, you must also delete all of its leftover files. To do so, take the following steps:

1. Select the Pages.app file from the Applications folder. Drag it to the Trash and drop it there.
2. To get rid of the Pages remnants, you'll need to gain access to the Library system folder, which is hidden. So you need to open Finder, click Go in the menu bar, pick Go to Folder from the drop-down menu, type /Library/ in the box that displays, and click Go.
3. Using the following path, locate and remove all files linked to the Pages application:

• ~/Library/Application Script/com.apple.iWork.Pages/
• ~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.sharedfilelist/com.apple.LSSharedFileList.ApplicationRecentDocuments/com.apple.iwork.pages.sfl2/
• ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpd/Generated/com.apple.iWork.Pages.remote.help*7.2/
• ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iWork.Pages/
