How do I delete an app store app from my computer?

I downloaded a useless app from the app store and I want to delete from my computer. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Lou

Drag & drop it in the Trash. But if you want to get any auxillary files, use something like AppCleaner.

    How can I delete time machine back up from my computer hard drive?

    How to Delete a Time Machine Backup - YouTube
    If you want to remove an entire Time Machine backup on a backup drive, then the easiest way to do that is to erase the backup drive using Disk Utility. However, this will delete everything on the disk:
    Drive Erase Snow Leopard and Earlier
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select the volume you wish to format from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.

  • How do you delete things on an ipod from your computer?

    I forgot my ipod passcode and I need to find a way to delete everything off of my computer.

    As I said in my first reply you may not be able to make a backup and you may have to place the iPod in recovery mode. Do the following:
    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.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • How do you delete a second apple id from my computer?

    My sister downloaded her apple id on my computer, now my computer asks for her apple id for me to complete my downloads?  how do i delete her id from my computer?

    Hello javyocks,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Concerning the issue with multiple Apple ID's, please look at the following:
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Take care,

  • How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

    How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.
    I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
    sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
    sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
    Use -help for a list of options.
    But i didn't work as I got the above error message.

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

  • How can I get my App Store app back after my daughter deleted it?

    My daughter somehow deleted my App Store app off my iPad. How can I get it back.

    The App Store is not possible to delete.
    Anyway, the easiest way is probably Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
    If you don't care for that method, you can find the App Store by swiping your home screen from left to right, and typing "App Store" in the search screen.

  • How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    All items that you download from the iTunes store are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account can download updates to its apps.
    If you are referring to apps from the Mac App Store then you will be better off asking in the Using Mac App Store forum (this is the iTunes Store forum).

  • Accidentally deleted an App Store app.  how can I get the icon back on my home screen?  when I search for it in the App Store it comes up 'open'. thanks.

    accidently deleted an app Store app.  how can I get the icon back on my home screen?  in the app store it comes up 'open' instead of install.

    What happens if you tap on open?
    Remember, if you ever want to find an app quickly, you can slide all the way to the left (iOS 6 and lower) or pull down (iOS 7 and later) to get to an app.
    If you know for certain that you have deleated the app, please try restarting your phone. There are many ways to do this, but the safest way would be to hold down the power button and then slide to power down.
    Once powered down, restart and try to find the icon on your screen. If you still can't find it, go into the App Store and then find the app you were trying to access. It should have an iCloud download symbol since you've purchased it before, rather than saying "install."

  • HT204266 My child deleted the "app store" app.  How do I get it back or reinstall?

    My child deleted the "app store" app.  How do I get it back or reinstall?  Normally I would go into the app store to get the deleted app...

    You cannot delete the App Store app as it is one of the default apps. Your daughter most likely moved it onto another screen or accidentally moved it on top of another app which creates a folder that contains both apps.
    Swipe to the furthest left screen, the search screen, type in App Store, and you'll find where the App Store is hidden.

  • My child somehow deleted my APP Store App - how do I get it back?

    My child somehow deleted my APP Store App - how do I get it back?

    It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Also check Restrictions in Settings>General>Restrictions>Installing/Deleting Apps>ON

  • HT204266 My daughter deleted the actual app store app.  How and where do I get this back?

    On the first screen of my iPhone I have the iTunes app and the App store right next to each other.  However, my 4 year old managed to delete the App store app somehow and I can't figure out how to get it back.  Any help?

    that app can't be delete.  either check your other apps folder or home screen.
    go to settings - restrictions - make its off
    last resort - settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout.

    I've somehow managed to delete the App Store icon from my iPad. How do I re install it?

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
    2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
