How to Uninstall a FIPLAB App
Step-by-step guide to completely uninstalling a FIPLAB app from your Mac.
Step 1: Quit the App
Before you can uninstall an app, you need to make sure it's not running.
- For regular apps: Bring the app to the foreground and press Cmd + Q, or right-click the app's icon in the Dock and select Quit.
- For menu bar apps: Click the app's icon in the menu bar, then select Quit (or right-click the icon and choose Quit).
Step 2: Delete the App
You can remove the app using one of the following methods.
Using Launchpad
- Open Launchpad (click the Launchpad icon in the Dock or pinch with thumb and three fingers on the trackpad).
- Find the app you want to delete.
- Click and hold the app's icon until it starts to jiggle.
- Click the X button on the app's icon, then confirm the deletion.
Note: The Launchpad method only works for apps installed from the Mac App Store.
Using Finder
- Open Finder and go to the Applications folder (or press Cmd + Shift + A).
- Find the app you want to delete.
- Drag the app to the Trash in the Dock, or right-click it and select Move to Trash.
- Empty the Trash to permanently remove the app.
Step 3: Remove App Data (Optional)
Uninstalling the app doesn't automatically remove its stored data and preferences. If you want a completely clean removal, you can also delete the app's container folder:
- Open Finder and press Cmd + Shift + G.
- Type
~/Library/Containersand press Enter. - Find and delete the folder matching the app's bundle identifier (e.g.,
com.fiplab.batteryhealth3).
Tip: If you think you might reinstall the app later, consider keeping the data folder so your settings and data are preserved.
