How can I remove an App from my iMac?

I downloaded an App from the Mac App Store and it's rubbish, so I want to get rid of it. I can't drop it into Trash (it just stays in Applications) and there's no option to remove if I right-click on it.
Any ideas?

How can I remove an app from my iTunes account?

I have several apps that I purchasesd or added to my account that I know I will never use again. How can I delete these from my iTunes account?

Hi Annaoxie,
If you no longer wish to see certain Apps would hiding the Apps work for you?
Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
If you hide an item you purchased in the Mac App Store, you won't get update notifications for it, and you won't see it on your Purchases page. If you're using Family Sharing, hidden items will also be hidden from your family members.

How can i remove an app from all my devices including the cloud?

There are some apps that we have on my family's devices and in the cloud that I'm no longer comfortable with my kids using. We share one account. How can I delete them from the devices and the cloud so they can't just reinstall them?

It will prevent them from installing any apps. Only someone with the Restriction passcode will be able to turn app downloads back on and download. You do have the option of setting app downloads based on content ratings, but I can't say how effective that is or if it would resolve your issue.

How can I remove an app from ipod touch permanently?

Hello, I have installed a free game app in my ipod toch but I do not have much free memory left and I would like to remove it permanently. I know about pressing on the touch screen and deleting it with the x, but I need to remove it so that it doens't take up memory. Thank you! Regards!

That is the only way to remove the app. Resetting the iPod may help get back some of the storage space.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

How can you remove old conversations from the iMac. Even when I remove them they return when I start a new conversation with the same person. Only happens on iMac with the Beta iMessage program

How do you remove an old conversation using the Beta iMessage on an iMac. When I open a new conversation with the same person the old conversation comes back

Hi,
Previously iChat had tried a Last Chat/IM option when using Saved Transcripts - which itself was an option.
iChat has also tried "Saving" the Last Chat by leaving a Chat window open and using something similar to the Lion method of showing an app in the state is was closed in.
In Messages the option to Save Transcripts has been removed and Chats or all types are saved as a matter of course.
What this tends to mean for your iChat style Buddy Chats is that it opens all the Transcripts for that buddy as a sort of History you can scroll back through if you want (I have some Buddies with saved chats gong back to 2004)
With the Syncing of iMessages with iPhones and iPads (or Touches) then it seems this works slightly differently.
Although you can delete the chat and the contents of the Chat as separate action it is true that in the Beta as soon as you connect to the same Contact that the contents of the previous chats are shown to you.
I have found that Messages stores a data base of info on iMessages in Your Home Folder/Library/Messages
I have found that deleting this chat-db removes the "History" that keep popping up.
By default the Saved "iChats" are also stored in the Home Folder/Documents/iChats (At least this is the default place iChat used and they go to the same iChats folder where ever you had it)
Some people claim removing iMessages saved here stops the "History" reappearing.
In Lion the only access to the Home Folder/Library is via the Finder's Go Menu and hiding down the ALT key

How do i remove an app from my imac, and all its associated files

I know you can drag an item to the trash can but i have heard there are files left on the computer that don't get deleted. So how do i get rid of them?

If the app has an uninstall routine use that. If it doesn't you can use a utility such as AppCleaner. BTW if you have come from the MS Windows world uninstalling apps Macs is really simply just drag them to the trash. Any files left behind will not affect the performance of the system and are normally so small (KB's) that they can be ignored. Tools like AppCleaner are not totally necessary to be honest, they're there to just make us feel better.

How can I remove updated apps on app store page after they are updated and say open?

HOW CAN I REMOVE UPDATED APPS FROM UPDATE PAGE ON IPAD3 IOS7 AFTER THEY ARE UPDATED AND SAY OPEN?

You don't.
Apple has instituted auto updating , this is a feature for users to check what has updated recently.
The open button opens the app.
It will keep a rolling list, about 20-3O days back.

How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again?

Your apps are not stored in your icloud account. You should be able to delete the app from the device using the wiggling icons and tap the X process and then downloading directly to device from the itunes store wirelessly. Don't do it via iTunes on your computer where a copy of the app is stored.

Hey there Matt.dvs1,
Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
Hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
