Check Force Quit:

See if any applications are open. If that is the case, save what need be (if possible), and then Force Quit them one at a time.

  1. Go To: Apple Menu
  2. Select: Force Quit...
  3. Select: An Item Ending in: “Not Responding

What is the app? Please. What is the app? Some apps have specific app-removal sequences.


In general, boot into Safe Mode, and try deleting there:

Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support


But again, which app this is matters, as some apps have (for instance) app removal tools.
