I'm not so knowledgeable on these things.To try to handle it, I would have
to first learn what-how, while I have too much other things. Hopefully,
somebody will take it and fix it.

If there is a complete, ready to install, cocoAspell 2.5 in MacTeXtras

I used to regularly download MacTeXtras. But now, I have an old MacB Air,
with dangerously little Storage / memory. I'll try to download it and try
to see whether the cocoAspell 2.5 in it is ready to install, and then
remove what I do not need from MacTeXtras. I see that, with yesterday's
trials with bg dictionaries and then by cocoAspell from GitHub, the memory
went too much down.
In any case, I have to uninstall cocoAspell from GitHub. How?  Perhaps:

/Library/Application\ Support/cocoAspell/cocoAspell-master*/*
I would think I can't just delete, by rm -rf, cocoAspell. Probably, at
first, I need to uninstall the dictionaries, from the instructions in them?
Perhaps, by:

/Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-2020.12.07-0 $ make
uninstall

an the same for the dictionary from:
/Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/cocoAspell-master/aspell $


and afterwards:
rm -rf cocoAspell

Is it so?

Best Regards,
Roussanka
