However, there may be some applications that cannot be uninstalled through the traditional method, such as dragging the app to the trash bin. This could be due to various reasons such as built-in system apps, permissions issues, or app errors.<\/p>\n<p>To delete such applications, you can use a third-party uninstaller tool such as AppCleaner, CleanMyMac or AppZapper. These programs are designed to uninstall all components of an application, including associated files, folders, and preferences. <\/p>\n<p>To use an uninstaller, simply open the program, select the application you want to remove, and follow the on-screen instructions. The uninstaller will then automatically scan your system for any associated files and prompt you to delete them.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can manually delete the application by accessing the Library folder on your Mac. Navigate to ~\/Library\/Application Support and ~\/Library\/Preferences, and look for files or folders related to the application. Delete these files and then empty the trash bin. However, caution is advised when deleting files manually as it can cause unintended harm to your system if you delete the wrong files.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, third-party uninstaller programs are effective in removing stubborn applications that cannot be deleted through traditional methods. However, if you choose to do it manually, be careful and ensure that you only delete the correct files and folders.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"8h3YjTvxALM\" playlabel=\"Play: Keynote (Google I\/O '18)\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_delete_an_application_that_Cannot_be_deleted\"><\/span>How do you delete an application that Cannot be deleted?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"KNR1Sf8o2nY\" playlabel=\"Play: Keynote (Google I\/O '18)\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_remove_locked_apps_from_my_Mac\"><\/span>How do I remove locked apps from my Mac?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Removing locked apps from your Mac requires several steps:<\/p>\n<p>1. Quit the locked app &#8211; The first thing you need to do is to close the locked app that you wish to remove from your Mac. If the app is unresponsive, you can force quit it by pressing Command + Option + Esc on your keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>2. Check for permissions &#8211; If the app is locked, it may be because you don<strong>&#8216;t have the appropriate permissions to remove it. To check for permissions, go to the Applications folder, select the app you want to remove, and press Command + I to bring up its information window. If you don&#8217;<\/strong>t have permission to remove the app, you&#8217;ll need to log in as an administrator.<\/p>\n<p>3. Move the app to Trash &#8211; To remove the app, simply drag its icon to the Trash icon in your Dock, or right-click on it and select <strong>&#8220;Move to Trash.&#8221;<\/strong> If the app is still running, you&#8217;ll be prompted to close it before you can remove it.<\/p>\n<p>4. Empty Trash &#8211; Once you have moved the app to Trash, you can empty the Trash by right-clicking on the Trash icon in your Dock and selecting <strong>&#8220;Empty Trash.&#8221;<\/strong> Alternatively, you can also go to Finder -> Empty Trash.<\/p>\n<p>5.

However, it is important to note that force-deleting an app using Terminal can potentially harm your system or cause some apps to malfunction when opened again. Therefore, proceed with caution and make sure you have a backup of the app and its data before using this method. <\/p>\n<p>To force-delete an app using Terminal, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>1. Open Terminal from the Utilities folder or by searching for it in Spotlight.<br \/>\n2. Type `sudo rm -rf ` (with a space after <strong>&#8220;rf&#8221;<\/strong>) in Terminal and do not press enter yet.<br \/>\n3. Open Finder and navigate to the Applications folder.<br \/>\n4. Drag and drop the app you want to delete onto the Terminal window. This will complete the file path in the command you typed in step 2.<br \/>\n5. Press Enter. Terminal will ask for your administrator password. Type it in and hit Enter again.<\/p>\n<p>The `sudo` command gives you the necessary permissions to delete system files, while the `-rf` flag stands for <strong>&#8220;recursive force&#8221;<\/strong> and ensures that all files and subdirectories associated with the app are deleted as well.<\/p>\n<p>Again, use this method with caution as it can cause unintended consequences if used improperly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_a_way_to_force_delete_an_app\"><\/span>Is there a way to force delete an app?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, there is a way to force delete an app from your device.
