Uninstall Rosetta2

[Andyswr]

Hi,
long story, short story here.
I have downloaded an app from the Store thinking that it was native for the M1 but once I tried to open it, I had to install Rosetta 2 to run to but I don't want to install it (trying to reduce the issue with the swapping memory, if I can use all native apps without Rosetta2 I'd like to avoid to install it) but once I uninstalled the app because I don't need it, I can't close the installation window of Rosetta even if I choose the "not now" button
Is there a way to close it? I have only downloaded the app, but NOT installed Rosetta.

Thx

I have no clue what "issue" you think exists. Naturally, a native app will run without translation, but there is no reason to be afraid of Rosetta 2 translation. Just use your machine without worrying about "issues". Rosetta isn't going to hurt you.

My GUESS is that if you run Activity Monitor there is probably a Rosetta installation process you could terminate. However, if you only INSTALL Rosetta and never run any non-native apps, Rosetta will never run anyway.

Maybe was an "error" due to the fact that I had delated the app whit the installation window still open because once I restarted the Mac it disappeared

Rosetta takes up a trace amount of storage and doesn't load itself, I believe, unless you're running an Intel app for the first time (does the app translation, saves that to disk, then returns to the background). No harm to having it installed.

Makes sense.
