Uninstall apps – correctly!
If you want to delete an app in macOS, just grab it and move it to the trash. That's true, but in reality it's definitely not that simple.

Just go to the native Activity Monitor app, which you open through Spotlight, or you can find it in Applications in the Utilities folder. Here, in the top menu, move to the CPU tab, then sort all the processes descending according to CPU% a watch the first bars. If there is an app that is using the CPU excessively and for no reason, tap it mark then press the X button at the top of the window and finally confirm the action by pressing End, or Force Termination.
