How do I delete photo booth from my macbook pro?

I'm deleting some unneeded applications from my new Macbook Pro. I have been successful with most and all of them that are not required as part of the OS system. However, there are other apps that are more difficult to remove as I was able to go into Utilities and Terminal and type in some other specific applications that I wanted to remove (like Stickies, Chess, etc.). However, one I am having trouble deleting is Photo Booth. I also want to disable the webcam so I cannot even activate it by mistake. Can someone tell me how to do that?
I was successful in removing all of the icons other than Finder, Safari and Trash from the bottom of my screen now that I have deleted everything else and it is much cleaner.
Thank you!

Here's an app that supposedly will disable your isight. Says it works in Lion, maybe it will work in ML too: Download iSight Disabler for Mac - Quickly turn on/off your USB iSight. MacUpdate.comhttps://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23346/isight-disabler
Here's a thread with several possible solutions for disabling the isight: Is there a way to turn off and On the...: Apple Support Communities
And here is a page with a Terminal command for deleting Photo Booth: How to Delete Safari, Mail, FaceTime, Photo Booth, and Other Default Mac OS X Apps
As a general rule, however, removing system software is a bad idea.
If you're really paranoid about the camera, then a little piece of tape over the lens would do the trick!

How do I delete a user from my macbook pro?

If you've admin privileges and there are no files in the user account that you want to keep, just go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock it with your admin password. Select the user that you want to delete and click on the minus button. You'll get a warning before you completely delete the user but once it's gone, it's gone.

How do I delete an iphone from my MacBook Pro devices?

I had backed up my iPhone5 to my MacBook Pro. My wife wanted to back up hers as well on my MBP, and I added hers as well.
Just before we upgraded to iPhone6, I synced my iPhone5 (OK). I could not, however, finish syncing (had to abort) my wife's iPhone5. I would now like to delete that device from my MacBook Pro to free up more memory. She is now backing everything up to the Cloud. I am using my MacBook Pro and a time-aching back-up to an external drive.
Help, please!
Thank you!

Open iTunes and click Preferences on the menu named iTunes, then click Devices in the Preferences window, select the device and click Delete Backup.
You can also delete apps that have been downloaded by going to the iTunes View menu, click Apps, click an App and then use the Delete key.

Have storage optimised with Photo Library but need more space - How do I delete photos just off my MacBook Pro and not from other devices and icloud

Hiya,
I moved a 40GB file off my MacBook Pro to make room so that I could enable the iCloud Photo Library. I optimised the storage but during this process it used 10GB of space and so I cant now put back the file I took off my mac. I though that once I had optimised the storage I would gain space not loose it!. So i'm wondering how can I delete photos off my MacBook and not off all my devices and so I can get this 40 GB file back on ??
Cheers

Hi, that's how it works. photos in Photo Stream are these ones that actually exist on your Camera Roll. Photo Stream is an iClous service that helps you to share photos. Just think about Dropbox or any other cloud services, isn't it that you delete a file on your computer, then found the file no longer exist on your other devices?
If you want to keep the photos while making them occupy less space, I suggest you try SafeEraser's Photo Compressor feature. It compress the photos and make it easy for you to keep them on your iPhone without losing much quality.

How can you delete downloaded games from a Macbook Pro to create more available space?

it says I have 0KB available... how do i get rid of downloaded games to create extra space on my computer?

Start by dragging the games' applications to the Trash and Empty the Trash. See, also:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

How Do I Delete a download on my macbook pro

How do I delete a download from my macbook pro OSX Mavericks OSX 10.9.5

If you haven't installed it, control-click the Downloads icon on the Dock, choose Show in Finder or Open Downloads, select that item, throw it away, and empty the Trash. If it's a dmg, you may need to unmount that first.
If you've drag-installed an application, remove it as above.
If you've actually run an installer, find and use an uninstaller.

Photos in your camera roll can be deleted on your device: Select the photo>Tap the trash can, lower right.

How do i delete photo's from my i pad and if i delete them will it themn delete them from my pc?

how do i delete photo's from my i pad and if i do will that affect the photo's on my pc...?

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/wesites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing i.e. you cannot delete them directly on the iPad.

How do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

how do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

Are you asking about albums created in the "Photos.app" ?
In the Photos app, click edit, then click the red minus icon that appears.
For albums you created on your computer and synced to your device using iTunes:
These albums can only be deleted by syncing again with your computer and deselecting the album when syncing.
All other albums in iPhoto are created automatic as need be (Edited, Flagged, Favorites, Custom (tags), iTunes, Beamed, Photo Box); these albums will be deleted, when the photos inside are no longer present - the edits and tags removed.
