An app called AYI from Facebook is on my dashboard. I can not remove it. Overtime I open dashboard the app immediately opens safari and goes to the app. I don't have enough time to remove it in the normal manner..

Question

OS X Yosemite on my iMac 27 inch Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3,
I have an app in my dashboard called AYI from Facebook.
I can not remove it, every-time I open dashboard to remove it the app opens safari immediately and I can not delete the widget.
I can not figure out how to manage this.

Answer 1

This procedure will reset your Dashboard configuration to the default.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete com.apple.dashboard layer-gadgets && killall Dock
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.
