Help deleting broken apps

[Kulfon]

Folks, I am simply unable to find a way to delete these apps. I drag and drop them to the bin folder - nothing. I try to delete through Clean MyMac - they are not visible. Is there a way to locate and delete?
Thanks!

Are they actually in your Applications folder in Finder?

If not, they shouldn't be in Launchpad. You can try resetting your launchpad/dock. Just google "reset launchpad" and you will find the corresponding terminal command in several different sites, so you don't have to take my word for it.

When I need to "get rid of" an app, I use the free "AppCleaner".
Get it here:

AppCleaner

Then, do this:
1. Open AppCleaner
2. Open your Applications folder (in the finder)
3. Grab the app you want to delete, and "drag and drop" it into AppCleaner's window.
4. AppCleaner will "look around" and gather up all the files related to the app.
5. If any are "unchecked", put a check into them.
6. Click the "remove" button, and they're ALL moved to the trash.
7. Close AppCleaner and empty the trash.
8. Gone!

I'm guessing there might be a few applications that AppCleaner can't "clean out" (perhaps Adobe stuff, Microsoft stuff, etc.). Those software publishers usually make available a standalone "uninstall" utility to get rid of them.

It worked, thanks a lot!
