In normal cases Mac users just need to simply drag and drop the target app to the Trash and then empty the Trash to perform the standard uninstallation. Generally speaking, most Mac applications are separate bundles that contain the executable and any associated resources for the app, and therefore users can easily remove any unwanted software (if they are installed properly) from their Macs.

However, a fact is often neglected that, even the stand-alone software may might still leave its configuration and preferences files on multiple system directories after you carry out a basic uninstall. These vestiges can be very small in size, thus leaving them alone may not affect your Mac performance, yet they can also be a large chunks of useless files that occupy a large portion of your hard drive space. In the latter case it is quite necessary to clean out those junk files from your Mac for complete removal.

For some novice users, they may have no idea how to remove USB Audio ASIO driver in a proper way. Even for the experienced users, they may also get lost when trying to uninstall a problematic, stubborn or even malicious application.

  3. Right click the Trash icon and select Empty Trash option to start the uninstall.

This drag-to-delete method works in all versions of Mac OS X. Most 3rd party apps can be smoothly uninstalled in that way, but you cannot delete built-in apps by doing this. Some apps installed using the Mac package installer will prompt you for a password when you try to move it to the Trash. In any case you cannot move USB Audio ASIO driver to the Trash or empty the Trash, try holding the Option key as you choose Empty Trash from the Finder menu, or reboot your Mac and try it again later.

This way cannot uninstall built-in apps as well.

It is worth mentioning that, some applications for Mac come with their own dedicated uninstallers, e.g. Adobe and Microsoft. Those apps will install additional software to provide extended functions, or place library files and associated application dependencies elsewhere in OS X.
