Is there a way to see which applications got deleted from my Mac recently?

Hey,


Is there a way to see which Apps got deleted from my Mac recently?


I understand that I can go to the app store and check from there, but that does not show me the apps which I have downloaded directly and not from the app store.


Would appreciate,


Thanks,

Mark

Perhaps, I too misunderstood the definition of Delete that suddenly means just the Opposite


However, it appears this has been all fixed


Welcome for the free advise too

Whatever Applications have been Installed on this computer will be listed in 1- Applications >> 2 - Other >> 3 - System Information >> 4 - Installations category


Even After an Application has been Removed or Deleted - it will still be listed


In below example GarageBand has been installed and updated a number of time since Big Sur to Monterey and now Ventura


As some time in Monterey I removed the Application and yes it still appears in " Installation" category

hey - i am not so much of an expert, so maybe i expressed myself wrongly. sorry for that.


what i did was i entered the application folder through time machine, went back a few days and checked what was in there a few days ago which is not in there now anymore. does that make sense? the difference is what i deleted.


the reason i asked is because i wanted to organize my launchpad and deleted a lot of apps by accident. i first thought that when i delete apps from the launchpad, they are just not in launchpad anymore, but then i understood i deleted them for good. stupid me :-D
