Hello, I don’t believe that this is possible. That is, apps that you have purchased cannot be deleted from your account. I believe that this is simply due to the legal requirement for record keeping and the such. Well, perhaps someone else can chime in on this, as I am not completely sure

There could be a number of things. The age of your Mac, the cord, or the drive itself. If yours is an older Mac though, that is most likely the issue. Restart your mac and then plug in the drive. When you open it, give the drive a couple minutes to load. There could also be a formatting issue.
