[Tex/LaTex] How to uninstall Miktex on Mac

installingmacmacos

I have installed Miktex from the Miktex site due to bad advice from other people, and I realized that Mactex might be better. I want to uninstall Miktex now, but I don't know how to do it. The uninstall button under cleanup will not work and I tried resetting the Tex installation to factory defaults, but still, I could not find a way to uninstall. I don't want to just delete the files for fear that some remanent of Miktex will remain. I have also tried looking online for help but the only thing I found dealt with homebrew, which I am not sure will work.

I emailed Christian Schenk himself and it turns out that all I really needed to do was drag the Miktex Console icon in Launchpad to the trash. I am assuming that resetting Miktex will get rid of most, if not all of the remnant files.
