# Can I uninstall an app that I moved to my external drive?

Yes. Click **Uninstall** on the app in the **Moved** tab. Storage Studio removes the app from your fast drive, the leftover shortcut in the Applications folder, and the app's leftover files on your Mac — all to the Trash, after showing you the list.

The drive needs to be connected so the app itself can be removed.
