How Do You Delete Programs?

i'm new and was wondering if you have a program on your computer how do you get rid of them???? thank you for the help

A: you can drag the app to the trash bin, then throw it away.
B: since sometimes you dont get rid of all the files that came with the app, so a great application to use to uninstall programs you can say is the appzapper

How do you delete programs off a mac?

I just got a Macbook over the summer, and I have downloaded some programs that I now want to remove permanently. How would I do that? I have been a PC user for so long, it's been hard to figure out. Thanks!

Just to build on what Martin said... It's really just the opposite of the Windows world. In the Windows world, you're told to always uninstall (not just delete the folder for the program) because when you install something in Windows it writes data all over the place. What you see as an application in OS X is actually a package... all the files you need for that application are in that package... you just don't ever see them. So, when you delete what just looks like a program icon, it's really getting rid of all the files associated with the program. As Martin mentioned, there are usually some preferences created when you install an application. These are just tiny text files, but in the interest of keeping things tidy, as mentioned, just use Spotlight to search for any lingering preference files. Just be sure the files are for the program you are deleting. You should also note that Spotlight will also show you programs that are in your trash. So, once you delete them, you will still see them... only they will now show up as being in your trash. Once you empty your trash, they'll be completely gone. You should be fine with just deleting the application icon for most programs... but some programs do come with un-installers (often relaunching the installer that you used to install the program will bring up an un-installer). Basically, if you just dragged the program to your applications folder to install it... just dragging it to the trash will get rid of it. If you actually got an installer come up when you installed the program, there is probably an uninstaller. There is no Add/Remove Programs in OS X like you have in Windows.

How do you delete a program from a Mac?

Which program are you asking about. Some apps do not delete via the trash, though as Axeman suggests, it's your first choice.
Incidentally, it is wise never to install an app or program that you haven't got uninstall details for.

Hi Beast,
You might find it easier to duplicate the whole doc and delete the sheets you don't want. Otherwise you are copying and pasting tables from each sheet.

Hi Cynthia! If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete. Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF). Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE. You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone! Hope it helps!

HT4528 How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s

How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s? It's taking up about 10GB of 32 GB capacity.

After much searching on the web and reading many (sometimes amusing) posts on this topic here is what I have found.
In Settings>General>Usage my saved mesages were using 3.2Gb and no apparently immediate way of deleting them.
However as the good book says "seek and ye shall find".
SO this is where I went:
Settings>iCloud>Account> then scroll down to ADVANCED and select Mail; again scroll down to the bottom and select Advanced and yet again scroll to the bottom (well at least to DELETED MESSAGES) and tap on the line called Remove.
Here at last you will find a setting that enables you to select the period after which iOS will remove your deleted messages.
The shortest period is one day so you will haev to wait 24 hours to finally have that memory back but it should work and is a nice feature in iOS although it is well burried!!

Hi,
My version of "your Starter for ten.."
Some websites are able to override the tab setting you may have set and open a second window behind the current open one.
Use the Red/Close button top left when this happens.

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist?!

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist - everytime I connect my hard-drive it adds another of every single track - argh!!!!
I remember there being a 'delete duplicate tracks' option on a much older version of itunes - is this still available and if not if you opt for the 'consolidate library' option will this automatically save to you computer as I have too much music for my laptops memory capacity! On top of that how can I stop this issue from contantly re-occuring everytime I connect my hard-drive?! Apologies if im being thick here.... xX*laura*Xx

You are doing something wrong, iTunes doesn't add tracks to the library unless you ask it to, so there is a problem somewhere in your workflow which is creating the duplicates. For example, having iTunes set up to "Copy files to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" and then repeatedly adding in a folder from an external drive would do it.
Once you've worked out how to stop creating new duplicates you can look at the issue of deduping what you already have. See this recent post for some thoughts and a script that may prove useful.
