Application to help delete unwanted programs?

I've got a MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.8), and over the last 6 months I've downloaded a number of demos (music software) and would like to delete them and their associated files. For applications that don't have an Uninstaller, is there a program (freeware?) that I can download that will locate these additional files and delete them? Or make them available for me to manually delete?
Thanks in advance.

I use 'Find Any File' http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/30079/find-any-file
It's outstanding.
There's also 'EasyFind' http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11076/easyfind
It's excellent but not as fast as 'Find Any File'.

Best way of deleting unwanted programs

I have downloaded some programming software that I was using on my Mac for some time, but have since decided I don't want it on my Mac anymore. Because the programming is in Java, it also downloaded very confusing Java add-ons and saved certain projects I was working on. I am confused with whether there is a way to delete the programming software including anything that is attached to it, or whether I have to delete manually and risk deleting important Java software.

If the software has an uninstaller, use it. Otherwise, see if the installer package has a bom (bill of materials) which shows where all installed files are stored.

Delete unwanted programs

Hi guyz,
Wanted to delete unused programs knew theres a function module which does it (RS_DELETE_PROGRAM), but the thing is wanna create a transport which includes all this deletion programs so when I release that to other systems it automatically deletes the programs in it.Please advise?
Thanks

Hi,
Try doing this:
- attach all components of the program (program itself and its includes) to your transport using write trasnport entry option in se80
- use your program to delete it in DEV system
- send your transport to QUA system. As you removed the program each change will be noticed in the transport entry you did, hence this should send its deletion.
Try that out with one program first. If works, proceed with the rest.

Need help deleting a program called KompoZer

Hi guys,
I downloaded a program for WYSIWYG editor, it is called KompoZer. I dont need it but I cannot delete the dmg file from the desktop or remove the the icon from the task bar.
When I try and drop the dmg file into the trash I get the following message:
The disk "KompoZer en-US" couldn't be ejected because "KompoZer" is using it.
Quit that application and try to eject the disk again.
Although I'm not using the program, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder and see if you can see anything for KompoZer listed. If son, select it and click on the big red button at the top of the window to quit the process - then try deleting the app.
(If you are running Mavericks the red button has been replaced with an x in the top left corner).

I deleted unwanted photos from my iPhoto library, emptied iPhoto trash & Finder trash... this did not free up disk space. please help!

I deleted unwanted photos from my iPhoto library, emptied iPhoto trash & Finder trash... this did not free up disk space. please help!
I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2011) with OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
Last week, my 500 GB Harddrive had 120 GB free space. I was feeling crumby and decided to make productive use of taking a day off to lounge around. I snuggled up with my laptop and dedicated hours to meticulously combing through my iPhoto Library. I had 13,000 pictures, and I got rid of those I didn't want. Having said "sayōnara" to about 6,500 pictures, I then emptied the iPhoto trash and the Finder trash. I took delight in the iconic paper crumpling sound of them vanishing into the digital void.
Everything seemed perfect: the photos I loved were still there, the photos I loathed were gone, both trashes were beautifully empty. Having thrown away all of those awful, boring, and unflattering images of poorly light lunches and selfies gone wrong, my iPhoto library was half the size as before! I felt renewed, a little lighter, somehow more free, and I expected my hard drive to be a bit different to.
I eagerly checked my storage stats. My heart sank to see that my 120 GB of free space, was still only 120 GB of free space. I restarted my MacBook; this did not help. I restarted it the next day; this also did not help. It's been 5 days and the hard drive still has 120 GB free space. This is not an emergency and it will probably be a good while before I clutter my laptop to the brim. Yet while I am glad I don't have to see cringeworthy pictures of my ex's unmentionables every time I'm showing off things I do want to remember, I'm still disappointed and now obsessed with solving this mystery.
What is going on? I don't see them, so where are they hiding? How do I get the free space I should have earned from throwing away 1,000's of photos?!

Thank you, Terence!
Yes, I only emptied the trash when it was really full, once I waited until the trash cans contained 2,600 photos and then I emptied them - Oooops! In the future, I'll keep in mind your suggestion of deleting less than 100 photos at a time.
I downloaded the iPhoto Library Manager and used it to rebuild my iPhoto. After a few hours of rebuilding, it generated a new copy of my iPhoto Library. This versions was nearly identical to the original (it was missing 5 photos and was therefore only 5 mb smaller). I guess my Library wasn't defective.
I checked my storage stats, and interestingly, using iPhoto Library Manager did help with the problem that developed after I re-indexed my hard drive. My hard drive is able to properly recognize data categories again, instead of listing almost everything as "Other". Understandably, my free disk space changed from 120 GB to about 60 GB, because my hard drive now contained a second copy of my iPhoto Library as well as iPhoto Library Manager. It seemed like all I needed to do was throw these away, but when I emptied the trash, my problem was not solved. My Hard drive now looked like this:
It appears to me that when I empty the trash, the things I throw away are just hanging around as backups instead of leaving! I went into System Preferences and turned of my time machine OFF. Now my hard drive looks likes this:
The back ups of the iPhoto files, and the program which I deleted, are still on my hard drive some where but now they are listed as "Other" instead of "Backups". Do you know where they might be and how I can delete them for good?

Hello, HenryWang2103.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The Safari, Email and Notes applications are native to the iOS and is unable to be deleted. Since this is the case, they are either in a folder on the iPhone, on another page or Restrictions are enabled. You can also search for these Apps on the iPhone by touching the screen and sliding your finger down. Here is some information regarding these features. The information about folders is located in the user guide below.

On a 5230 highlight the route you wish to delete, then hit the search bar. The keypad appears, then just press the backward pointing small white arrow on the far right hand side of the screen about half way down and it will then say "Delete selected route?"

Downloaded Application Won't Delete..Help Needed!

This is probably the wrong category, but my issues didn't seem to fit any other categories either.
I downloaded an application, and since doing so my computer has been running much slower. I tried to delete the application, but the computer says i can't because the application is in use. The application doesn't show up in the finder, but it still says it's in use. I've tried restarting, but it still says it's in use even though i haven't opened it. I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone could give me on how to delete this program.

You're welcome,
I'll really appreciate if you consider:

I have an ipod that I have been using for iTunes, when I connect now to sync, and hit the eject ipod, I get a warning it can't eject due to applications being used in another program. I am having trouble disconnecting. Help!

I am having a problem with the new iTunes store. I can connect my ipod, and it will show that it is syncing. Once the sync is complete on iTunes, my ipod still shows that it is connected, do not eject. I have not had a problem with this until the new verision of iTunes. When I go to eject my ipod, it tells me that it can't eject due to application being used in another program. I did receive an ipad 2 for Christmas, that I also sync with iTunes, but only the ipad shows up in my devices on the site, what happened to my ipod device and how to add it back to devices? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Just accidentally downloaded an unwanted program. how to delete it?

I am still adjusting from Windows to Mac. Let's say I just want to delete this program completely off my computer. But when I control click/right click on the icon and check the options, the only thing that is remotely close to delete is "eject." What do I do? What does eject do? Is there such thing as a recycle bin on a Mac? Thanks!

I believe you are talking about a Disk Image (the Mac equivalent of a .exe file) and as such not an installed program. Yes you can just select eject, or drag to the trash in the bottom right of your dock.
If you have installed the program and it is within your applications folder, the second option applies, simply drag to the trash bottom right of the dock.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

It took about an hour to upgrade my iphone. You're also left a couple of times with a blank screen on the iphone whilst it does things in the background which is a bit confusing. Suggest you wait - it starts doing things again (like reload your apps and then your photos etc) after you think it's finished. It's finished only when it says it is.....
