When you delete an app or desktop program on the MacBook, it should still remain available in the Trash Can, from where it can be easily restored or reinstalled back on your device.
If the deleted App is not available in the Trash Can, it can still be recovered by reinstalling the application from the App Store or from Third-party source from which the app or the desktop program was originally downloaded from.
