How to Delete Automator Actions/Scripts on Mac

In this guide, we will show you the steps to delete the Automator actions/scripts from your Mac. Automator is one of the most underrated apps built into the OS. It allows you to create workflows for automating repetitive tasks into batches and does its job quite efficiently. While the initial setup might look daunting at first, but it’s just a one-time process, from subsequent times, it will automatically do its job.  In this regard, I have also created quite a few nifty actions.

These include the likes of creating a new text file inside any folder and closing all apps at once. But what if you no longer require an action? Well, one way would be to stop it and prevent it from running in the background. But that script will still have an abode on your PC. So a much better approach will be to delete those Automator actions/scripts from your Mac altogether. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.
