How do I delete an application I no longer need

I want to delete a few applications that I no longer need or have been superseded. I have tried just dragging them to Trash but it doesnt remove it.

Dragging an application should delete that application - however, it won't delete any auxiliary files that may have been created by the app. I'm a bit confused when you say that dragging an application from your Applications folder to the Trash doesn't 'remove' the file? Do you mean that the file remains in your Applications folder? If so, you've big problems somewhere.
Regardless, I always use an application such as AppDelete, or the free AppCleaner, to delete small apps that have no uninstaller and would otherwise leave auxiliary files behind.
Download it and see if it works - if it doesn't delete the apps and the associated files, then you have larger issues.

  • How do you delete an application on Macbook pro 2012?

    I just downloaded something off the web and no longer need it. It seems silly, but how can i delete the application?

    It depends. Most of the time you just put the application in the trash (and empty the trash, if you are so inclined). If the application used an installer, you often also have an uninstaller (which may be an option in the installer). Which application is it and how did you install it?

  • TS1702 how do I delete an application from my ipad? is their a recycle bin?

    How do I delete an application?
    Is their a recycle bin?
    Is their an application to write research papers on, letters ect... like windows?
    Thanks for your help.  I just got my ipad yesterday and am totally overwhellmed.

    To delete an App, touch and hold on the icon until an "X" appears. Touch the "X" to delete the App. Press the Home button to restore the icons to normal.
    To write papers you might consider the Pages App.

    how i can delete an application which already download from i cloud

    Why connect as SYS? Any DBA account should do.
    After all, it is considered poor practise to connect as SYS on a regular basis (just as logging on as root in *nix is considered poor practise).
    To the original poster - self help for this kind of question is available in the 2-Day DBA book at http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage ... you may often find looking these things up to be faster than waiting for a response. <g>

  • How do I delete Ipad Application Icons

    How do I delete Ipad Application Icons ? I tried to load a few and they didn't load and now I am left with icons that have "Waiting" underneath and nothing is happening
    I have tried the hold and wiggle but they wiggle without the X so I can't delete that way
    Please help ?

    Restarting worked for me. Just hold down the sleep button until the red slider appears. Slide to power off. To turn it back on, it has to be plugged in to the wall or a computer.

  • HT1918 I have 2 iTunes accounts. How do I delete the account I don't need?

    I have 2 iTunes accounts. How do I delete the account I don't need?
    thanks guys
    TM

    It's not currently possible to delete an account, all you can do is stop using it. If you have any content that you purchased/downloaded with that account then it will remain tied to that account (you can't move or transfer content from one account to another) - so you will need to remember the id and password if you ever want to re-download it and/or authorise it on a new computer.

  • How do you delete an application that is run only ? (Apex 3.1.2)

    Hi,
    There must be something simple I'm missing here ...
    I've deployed an application as run only on a server and I'd like to drop it and then import a new version (I'd like to keep the application number).
    But, from the application builder I don't get the option when I click on it ... how is this done using the screens or do I need to use sqlplus and an API call ?
    Steve

    If you just want to delete applications set to 'Run Application Only', 2 possible methods (method 2 is much easier, but relies on use of SQL Developer):
    1) The first method involves firstly changing the status back to 'Run and Build', which must be done in the APEX instance administration application, then going back into your workspace and deleting the application(s). So login to the APEX instance administration module (you'd need to have instance administration access), go to 'Manage Applications > Build Status' and click on the Edit icon of the application you eventually wish to delete. On the next page change the status to 'Run and Build Application'. Then you can log back into your workspace and delete this application as normal.
    2) Use the SQL Developer integration to do this. In SQL Developer, open a connection to the parsing schema defined for your application. Then you'll see an Application Express node within that connection. Expand this and you'll see a list of applications (regardless of status). Locate the application you wish to delete and right click on it, select 'Drop' and click 'Yes' and your done.

  • How do I delete an application from my IPOD Touch

    Please help. I need instructions on how to delete an application from my IPOD Touch. I can't find instructions anywhere.

    The best way to delete an app is to use iTunes and uncheck it before you sync with your touch. Using the method with the wiggly x on your touch will delete the icon from your touch, but according to the manual, "When you delete an application, its data is no longer accessible via the iPod touch user interface, but it isn’t erased from your iPod touch." So it still takes up room on your hd. When you delete by by unchecking in iTunes it completely removes the app and all associated data.
