Deal with unwanted apps
(Updated: )CleanMyMac Business lets you handle apps you don't approve in your Organization—whether they've failed critical risk checks, pose a security threat, interfere with user data, or are out of date with no new versions.
First, an Admin marks an app as Unwanted in the Dashboard—this status syncs to all Mac computers enrolled in your Organization. Users with the unwanted app installed then see a notification in the upper-right corner of the screen from the CleanMyMac Business desktop app. From that notification, they can either uninstall the app and its artifacts immediately or snooze the reminder.
To learn about notification settings on Mac and how to turn them on or off for CleanMyMac Business, refer to the Apple Support article.
If, for some reason, a user misses the notification or has notifications turned off, they can:
Click the CleanMyMac Business icon in the menu bar.
On the Active Tasks tab, find the task named Unwanted App Detected.
Click Uninstall to remove the app and its artifacts without reviewing them.
Click the task to find out why the app's unwanted and if Admin suggested any alternatives to use—then click Uninstall to remove the app or click Back to return to the list of tasks.
To review results, go to the Completed tab and click the respective task.
Admins can monitor in the Dashboard which devices still have unwanted apps installed.
