How to Uninstall Kindle
Kindle is one of the most popular eBook readers, and using the official Kindle app for Windows and macOS is one of the easiest ways to manage your library and make use of all of Kind's exciting features. If you are looking to make a change and do not need the Kindle app any longer, then here is how you can safely remove it from both Windows and Mac:
Uninstalling Kindle on Windows
The first step is to make sure that Kindle is not running. Check for Kindle's icon in the notification area to ensure that it is not running. After this, Windows users need to go to the Start Menu -> Apps & Features section. Once there, locate Kindle in the list on the right, select it, and select 'Uninstall.'
Uninstalling Kindle on macOS
Just like Windows users, Mac owners should also start by quitting Kindle. After this, head to Finder -> Applications and drag the Kindle icon to the trash bin. Next, you need to check for leftover files. Open Finder and select Go -> Go to Folder -> type '~Library'. Locate and delete Kindle-named folders and files in:
- /Application Support
- /Containers
- /Caches
- /Preferences
- /Saved Application State
- /private/var/db/receipts
- /private/var/folders/I8
