Uninstalling the "CleanMyMac" product requires using it to uninstall itself. Since you are unable to launch it, you are now in an untenable situation.


Please restart your Mac in "Safe Mode": Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac. Then, drag the app icon to the Trash.


Then, restart your Mac normally.


If you encounter any problems, possibly in the form of a dialog related to "CleanMyMac", please describe it.

Google translation:

Cannot open "CleanMyMac X.app" application because it may be damaged or incomplete.

Consider yourself lucky. It's considered by most experienced users here to be akin to malware. There is no reason to ever install or run any 3rd party "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus or security apps on your Mac.  This user tip describes what you need to know and do to protect your Mac: Effective defenses against malware and other threats - Apple Community   


Delete the app and don't use any similar apps in the future.

Well, you have posted in the US forums, so i will answer in English with a french translation following:


You do not want to install that application. It does nothing you need and can "clean" so well that it will cause problems with your OS.



Eh bien, vous avez posté sur les forums américains, je vais donc répondre en anglais avec une traduction française suivante:


Vous ne souhaitez pas installer cette application. Il ne fait rien dont vous avez besoin et peut "nettoyer" si bien qu'il causera des problèmes avec votre système d'exploitation.

In fact the application CleanMyMac x is installed on my Mac, but when I tried to launch it, I get the reply in a little pop up :

Impossible d’ouvrir l’application « CleanMyMac X.app », car elle est peut-être endommagée ou incomplète.


Normally I use that app to clean my Mac and in case of need, to desinstall some programs I don’t need anymore …

Actually my problem is that this app doesn’t start at all and I don’t know how to restore it ?!


Thank you if you have an idea it will be very welcomed !
