Thought it could be a nice program to clean junk and boost performance on my old MacBook Pro 2013. In addition, many bloggers recommend this app. Turn out to be a bad sh*t.
Can't find a way to remove the app.

If it is a Mac program on a Mac computer, I am afraid you would be better served to visit a Mac forum... SWI is focused primarily on PCs with Windows, although we do have a few Android experts around...
