how to uninstall

[belletollz]

I keep reading things that say drag the icon to trash. But when i do that a bubble comes up that says "audacity cannot be deleted". And someone tell me how to uninstall? Thanks

Are you trying to use it at the time or is it open?

Are you an administrator on your computer?

Apple (upper left) > System Preferences > Users and Groups > Kozikowski (admin), [X] allow user to administer this computer.

That's what mine says.

it is not open. i closed it. and this is my personal computer so yes i am the administrator.

[kozikowski]

Did you look down that pathway to check?
Koz

[belletollz]

yes, it says i am the admin. the box for admin is checked, although it is not "active" as in i can't uncheck it

[belletollz]

also it does not show up in my applications--it shows up in my "devices"

[kozikowski]

OK. That's normal. You need password access to change that panel. It's a dangerous panel to leave open.

Go > Applications > Control-Click on the Audacity folder > Move To Trash.

Did that work? Does your Application folder look something like that attached? I have two Audacity installs, but the "normal" one should work like yours.

There is an audacity file in my applications folder that i can move to trash. then when i try to delete it , it says it can't because it's in use. but i do not have audacity open. i closed the program and the icon does not show in my toolbar. however, even after deleting the audacity application (which does not have the icon, by the way) it still remains in my finder as a "device". when i try to move that icon to trash it tells me it can't delete it.

[belletollz]

oh and , no, my applications does not look like yours. it does not list things as words, it opens a window where you have pictures of each icon associated with the application

[belletollz]

is there a way i can show you a screen shot of how it looks in the trash? i took one but don'tknow how to put it here
