How to permanently delete an App...

Upon start-up of my iMac the app LimeWire always starts running, ...
I haven't used it for years now since I just love iTunes, ...
So. ... how do i permanently delete this annoying app that always starts running in the back ground?
(I always "band-aid" the situation by force-quitting the app, ... but I am tired of doing this, .....Please help)
Thanks...

If it shows up in your dock, you can right click on it, select 'Options', then select 'Open at Login' to UNcheck it.
After that, if it remains on your dock after quitting the app, click and drag the icon off the dock and let go.
To delete it from your computer, open the Applications folder and drag the icon to the trash (or you can use something like AppCleaner, which I love).

  • How do i permanently delete an app now with icloud

    How do I permanently delete old apps off of the icloud that is on the phone now?

    I fully agree darkslayer1234. If the app was free why is it still attached to my history? even if I paid for it I (and that's a BIG CAPITAL I) should have the freedom to delete it and risk paying again. This history thing *****, how many years will I be haunted by immature, inappropriate apps that I had 'thrown away"?
    Someone at the planning stage just did not consider the full effect on the end user.
    Apple should allow me to export my WANTED apps to a new account and disable the old one!

  • TS1702 How do you permanently delete purchased apps from itunes?

    How do I permanently delete purchased apps from itunes on my iphone?

    I have spent a good part of my evening trying to figure this out then finally found this page which confirms what I was thinking... It doesn't appear possible! ARHHHH!!! There are loads of posts saying how you can do this, when what they appear to be describing is how to remove the apps from their iphone/ipad and not actually from the list of every app you have ever installed which appears when you go into the "Apps Store" > Updates > Not on this iPhone.
    It would be really nice to be able to remove programs from this list as I am sure I am not the only person who over the years have installed some apps which where not very good and I don't want to be reminded of them or to ever see them again quite frankly.
    I can do this very easily from my Android phone in Google Play which is Google's version of the App Store.
    I think things like this remind me why I prefer the ease of use of my Android phone... Ho hum! Maybe one day some geeks at Apple will realise that this would actually be a really useful thing to be able to do and enable it.

    Press and hold on any app icon on the home page or in the folder where this app is available until app apps begin to wiggle. An x will be available on the icon for the app. Select the x to delete. Press the home button when finished.

  • How to permanently delete apps in iTunes?

    I can't permanently delete my apps in itunes. I tried to click my iphone > Apps >
    It sends me to the a list of all the apps I've purchesed, and if I'd deleted it, it says install, and if I hadn't it says remove. There is no permanent delete option. Nothing happens when I right click or press the delete key in my keyboard. I really need your help because my phone's memory is being full.

    Hey there comealongpie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    From what I gather, your’e trying to free up some storage space on your iPhone using iTunes on your PC, and you're concerned because apps aren't being deleted from iTunes on your PC. Take a look at the article linked below which clarifies the process of syncing and organizing apps on your iOS device using iTunes.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
    Also, take a look at this article which will walk you through the process of deleting apps from the device itself.
    Delete music, movies, podcasts, and other content from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    -Jason

  • How do i delete apps on itunes ??? i went to the library and it only shows a few apps that i have.  But when i go into my account i can see all of the apps i have downloaded.  soooo how do i delete the apps that are only showing in my account?

    How do I delete an app on iTunes?  I can delete the apps that are shown in the library of iTunes by right clicking and hitting "delete".  But all of my apps aren't shown in the library (I don't understand that either).  I can see all downloaded apps in my account though. But I don't see how to delete them from there.

    If you plug in your iphone, click on it in iTunes, and go to the apps section, it should be checked to sync apps if you want them to show up in iTunes as well as your iPhone. Once synced they will show on both.
    Then if you click Apps under the Library header in the left panel of iTunes, you'll be able to permanently delete apps, removing them entirely from iTunes. Highlight an app's icon or a group of icons by holding down Shift and hit the delete key (or select Edit > Delete from the top menu or right-click on an icon and selecting delete).

  • How can I delete an app from my account definetly?

    How can I delete an app from my account, not just from the iPad,  i want to delete some from "purchased apps", hopee you can help me

    Rudegar is correct - you cannot remove the app permanently from your account. There has been much discussion about this on the ASC site and many users have concerns for many different reasons. As suggested send feedback to Apple.
    But remember this - your account is a part of Apple's official and legal sales records. In the real world - you just cannot delete a record of sale - for accounting reasons and for legal reasons.

  • HT5544 How to permanently delete unwanted books on iBooks?

    How to permanently delete unwanted books on iBooks?

    Well, it is possible to delete it permanently.
    At first I should notice the problem is that, when you delete a book from ibook in mac the notification which comes up tells that the book would remain in icloud so you have to delete it from icloud.
    To do this, open itunes, click on itunes store link on top right, now your your apple id should be show up on top left side, now click on books link next to app store on top, this full page is apple bookstore, on the right bar under "books quick links" you would see "purchased", click on it.
    THESE ARE ALL THE BOOKS YOU HAVE BOUGHT. IF YOU SLIDE OVER EACH OF THEM YOU WOULD SEE A "X" SIGN ON TOP LEFT SIDE OF EACH COVER CLICK ON IT, BY DOING SO YOU WOULD DELETE THE BOOK FOREVER FROM ICLOUD IN YOUR APPLE ACCOUNT.
    BY NOW IF YOU DELETE THE BOOK FROM YOUR IBOOKS APP IN YOUR MAC, IT WOULDN'T TELL YOU THAT IT WOULD BE STORED IN ICLOUD.
    YOU'VE DELETED THE BOOK FROM YOUR MAC AND YOUR ICLOUD APPLE ACCOUNT. AND YOU WOULDN'T SEE IT ANYMORE.
    YOUR DONE.
    HAVE FUN.

  • How do I delete past app purchases?

    How do I delete past app purchases?

    If you mean from your purchase history then you can't currently permanently delete them - you can just hide (and unhide) them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding purchases.
    If you just want to the delete an app from your iPad then press and hold any of the apps 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 don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. You cannot delete any of the Apple built-in apps e.g. Music/iPod, App Store, Game Centre etc. 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'
