Please manually uninstall Origin and see if that helps - http://bluebellflora.com/how-to-uninstall-origin-on-a-mac/
After properly uninstalling, download and install a new Origin installer and see if that helps. You could also try doing this in a new user account on your Mac as this will create a new Library folder which the cleaner app you used may have corrupted in your user account.
Moving your thread to the Mac forum 🙂
