How do you remove apps from the Macbook?

I had downloaded several apps to my macbook pro and tried to delete them from the application folder by dragging to the Trash, but they wont delete.  Please help.

Application has to be not running. Command-Q will quit.  Try right clicking (control-click) on the app in the Aplication folder, and select move to trash.
See if this works.
See Kappy's kompendium [sic] of application removal, in the following thread:

  • How do you remove apps from the App Store

    Just wondering if you delete or get rid of the old apps not being used. Always getting updates I don't need it's, annoying would like to get rid of them

    You can't currently permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible i.e. they won't show in the Purchased tab : hiding and unhiding. If your iPad is on iOS 6 then you will need to do the hiding on your computer's iTunes, it's not currently possible to do it directly on iOS 6 devices.
    If you are being notified about updates to those apps in the App Store app then those apps must be on your iPad. You can delete downloaded apps by pressing and holding any app on your iPad's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you no longer want on your iPad, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

    Heh, that can become a nuisance. Don't know how many you've accrued in your years of iGadget enjoyment, but I've managed to accumulate nearly 600, all free   So yeah, the list can get lengthy
    I'm afraid to count . I don't spend a lot time worry about it, but have on occassion gone in and hidden a few items. A handful of apps I know I never want to see again, plus some free music tracks that didn't pan out and some TV episodes that no longer have any value to me.

  • How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

    How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

    If you add an item to a slideshow, you'll usually see 2 entries for that image in the assets panel - one represents the thumbnail, and the other represents the larger 'hero' image.
    It sounds like you may have added the same image to your slideshow twice. You can select one of the hero images or thumbnail images in your slideshow and use the delete key to remove it. Then the extra 2 entries in the assets panel should disappear.

  • How do you remove recipients from the To list?

    Say you want to send an email to multiple recipients. You add a few recipients to the To list but then change your mind about including one of them. How do you remove one from the list? So far the only way I can see is go cancel the whole message and start again.

    Touch the persons name you wish to remove. It will highlight in blue. Then hit the destructive backspace (delete) key on the keyboard.

    How can you remove apps songs from i cloud account

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
    You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

  • How do you remove Facebook from the Hub?

    I don't use Facebook, so have deleted the app.  In the Hub settings, you have the option of turning off unwanted apps, so I have switched off Facebook.
    However, when I look at my Hub screen, Facebook is still there - and it's pushing a useful notification (Voicemail) off the bottom off the screen.
    How come it is still there even though the app has been deleted and I have switched it off in the Hub settings? Is there anything else I can do to remove it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    To delete an account from your hub, you will need to delete it from your Accounts. From home page, go into settings, select accounts,click facebook account and click on delete. You can refresh your hub from five quick swipes from the top right hand corner of the hub diagonally down or just restart your z10 to rebuild the hub.

  • How do I remove apps from the "open with" menu in Mountain Lion?

    If I right-click a document in Finder, I get a contextual menu offering all of the potential applications with which I might open that document.  My problem is that some of those applications are no longer operational and I want them to be removed from the menu.  How can I do that?

    I'm not sure how the order is determined. Clearly, the first level sort is ascending by application name these days (since Lion, I think), but it seems to be random after that. It's not by version, though that would be convenient.
    Also, I notice that on my relatively clean Mountain Lion system I sometimes get duplicate entries in the "open with" list that cannot be explained by duplicate copies of the application. On a text file, I get two each of Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Equation Editor, Evernote, and Xcode; none of these is duplicated on this system. I get only one entry each for the Notepad stub application, a few Adobe apps, TextWrangler, Safari, Numbers, Pages, and several others.
    Where there are duplicated entries, it doesn't seem to matter which one I select; I get the same instance of the program no matter which I select. I take this to mean that one is an alias for the other.
    That's my mystery and not necessarily yours. Are your "unhelpful but working stub applications" also duplicates?

  • How do you remove apps from itunes

    I have the latest update for iTunes and also have apps that that I know longer need or want.
    I have deleted the apps from my iPhone but when I sync with iTunes they appear again on my phone.
    So, how do I get rid of the apps unwanted or unneeded on iTunes?

    I admit I don't quite understand why the apps reappear on your iPhone when you sync, if you in fact already deleted them from your iPhone.
    Nevertheless, here is the answer to your question: "How do I get rid apps ... in iTunes?"
    In iTunes on your computer, without the iPhone connected, go to the "Apps" tab   View all apps (another tab selection near the top).  Then right click (Windows) or control-click (Mac) the app you wish to delete and choose "delete".  Repeat for each app you wish to delete.

  • How do you remove devices from the device list when setting up 2-step verification for your apple id?

    When setting up 2-step verification for my Apple ID, I get a list of devices to verify.  My list has my old iPhone 4 and my old iPad, which I don't have either of anymore.  Is there a way to remove these devices from the list?  Plus, both iPads that are listed don't give any indication of which one is my current iPad and which is my old iPad, so I'm not sure which one to verify.  What should I do there.

    For reference, I figured out how to identify which iPad was which so I could verify my iPad.  I went into the settings on my new iPad and changed the device name, started a iCloud backup (not sure if this was necessary but I wanted to make sure the device name change persited to the cloud) and then was able to see the new name on the device screen for 2-step verification.  Hopefully this helps someone if they have a similar problem.  I still am not sure how to remove old devices from the list.
