How do I remove an app that I can't find?

My log file is showing references to an application that I don't remember ever installing and that I can't find in the Application listing:
9/23/2012 9:21:52.872 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.502: (com.bjango.istatlocal[618]) posix_spawn("/Library/Application Support/iStat local/iStatLocal", ...): No such file or directory
9/23/2012 9:21:52.872 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.502: (com.bjango.istatlocal[618]) Exited with code: 1
9/23/2012 9:21:52.872 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.502: (com.bjango.istatlocal) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Can you tell me how to find the lingering files so I can delete them/uninstall the software properly?

John,
I have to admit I don't remember ever installing this software and it doesn't sound like something I'd even consider trying, so I'm not sure where it came from. That said I tried a trick recommended elsewhere to reinstall the software and then use the uninstaller that comes with it - I did that and do believe that worked because I don't see it in this list :
new-host:~ nengard$ kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/'

  • How do i remove an app that was downloaded under my apple id but was not from an authorized device or me?

    someone and i dont know who got my apple id and downloaded stuff. how do i remove the apps they downloaded?

    Thanks. I couldn't get the control-click to work, but I found that if I opened a folder and picked "Customize Tool Bar" from "View" in the Finder, I was able to drag the question mark out of the toolbar and onto the desktop where it "poofed' and disappeared. Doing this removed the question mark from the toolbar in all my folders.

  • How do I remove an app that won't download

    I tried to download an app called piictu. The app will not download and I cannot remove it. When I try to download from iTunes it tells me there was an error and the connection was reset. How do I get rid of the bloody thing!
    Here is a pic showing no "X" to delete the app from either my phone OR iTunes, it doesn't show up in the list of apps on my phone either - http://db.tt/gn09ZID
    *Note: Downloaded app at 4.3.3 - updated to 4.3.5 with no effect.. It's still there..

    Yes, I deauthorized all computers, reauthorized the primary. re-synced, restarted, updated iOS.. you name it.
    Good news though, tried downloading the app from another network/ISP and she downloaded successfully. Making the removal process possible! Thanks for your suggestions mate, i appreciate the quick responses.

  • How do I remove an app from my Ipad that is stuck in paused mode

    How do I remove an app from my ipad that is stuck in paused mode?

    Tap the app so that it can complete then delete it by holding your finger on the app until it starts to wiggle then tap the "x" in the left top corner. This is the iPad guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPad_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf

  • How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

    How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again on my iphone5s

    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.

  • How do I remove multiple apps from iPad
