[HELP] General Mac OS usage questions :)

Ok.
To be honest i never see problem with uninstaller:
- For basic simple apps it is way simpler just delete app from hard drive folder and just don't care about some additional txt files left in system. It even have advantage - if for some reason you install later same app, all preferences and window size settings will be the same.

- For more clean install there is appcleaner and some other similar tools.

- More complicated apps like Davinci Resolve or Adobe that designed not exact in normal "app + plist + app support folder" guidelines usually include it's own uninstaller script. Sometimes (mostly in past) that script may be a part of PKG installer, so you may see button UNINSTALL there.

Or for example here is Davinci Resolve script placed inside Uninstall.app wrapper:

#!/bin/sh

# unconfigure panel
"/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/configure-panel.sh" none

# unconfigure dp
"/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/configure-dp.sh" off

# DO NOT blow away application support and prefs
# /bin/rm -rf "/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/"
# /bin/rm -rf "/Library/Preferences/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/"

# Application
/bin/rm -rf "/Applications/DaVinci Resolve.app"
/bin/rm -rf "/Applications/DaVinci Resolve/"

# Panels
/bin/rm -rf "/Library/Frameworks/DaVinciPanelAPI.framework"
/bin/rm -rf "/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve Panels/AdminUtility"
/bin/rmdir "/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve Panels"

# Fairlight Panels
/bin/rm -rf "/Library/Frameworks/FairlightPanelAPI.framework"
