Answer 1

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question to Q&A forum.

You can do clean uninstallation for Microsoft Remote Desktop Client from Mac just like you do clean uninstallation for any other app on Mac. There is no other special steps for it.

In summary, you will need to terminate the app's all processes, uninstall the app and remove all related components.

You could refer to below article for completely uninstalling the app.

Using a Mac app remover is the most convenient way to uninstall any app on the device. I found the opportunity to write an article on this topic that you can find here:

You can't find the application on the Launch Pad or in the applications under Finder, but it will show up if you search for it using spotlight search (cmd+spacebar) on Mac. Try deleting the installer file from your download, it is the only way to uninstall the remote desktop beta version(blue-colored icon).

If you want to clear out the files completely from your Mac try following the steps in the link below, but these only work for the remote desktop stable version
