bring up spotlight and type in the name of the app, it will show all files w/ the apps name. just click on the name and drag it to the trash too.
or Any application that you can install just by dragging and dropping, can be deleted just by dragging and dropping on the trash. As mentioned before, this will leave behind the preferences file in the system folder, but those are typically on the order of KBs or less. However, programs that are installed using an installer may install things in many locations. Simply dragging the application icon to the trash will not delete all of the other files associated with these applications (and these files may or may not take up significant room on your hard drive - think Garageband sound loops). In that case, you might wish to use something like AppDelete ( http://reggie.ashworth.googlepages.com/appdelete) or AppCleaner ( http://www.freemacsoft.net/AppCleaner/index.php). .AppDelete tracks down all related files and trashes them along with the original app. On 11/21/09, Anne Cartwright <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have an application (Epson Scanner) that I cannot get rid of because it > is supposedly open.
