Cleanly uninstalling macOS apps when rm -rf and sudo are blocked: Finder AppleScript + bundle-ID leftover sweep
Agent-driven macOS app uninstalls fail when the permission layer blocks rm -rf, sudo, and launchctl. Dragging only the .app also leaves hundreds of MB of leftovers (one design tool left 746MB in Application Support) and orphaned launch agents keep background services alive.
