Hi,

If the application you try to delete from your MacBook Air doesn't have uninstall apps, try to following tip which could help you.


Open Terminal.app, then type in "rm -f " without the quotation marks, and with the space after the f. Then find the file that wont delete, and drag it to the Terminal window, and the path to that item should appear. Double check that this is the thing you want to delete, then press enter.
