Cannot remove from the applications folder

Having a problem of deletion of any application in the Applications folder. I use El Capitan 10.11.6.

If I try and drag any application to the trash or command + DELETE, I get the message 'the point 'whatever' cannot be moved to the trash, because some of its extensions are in use.

I can delete if I use Option + command + DELETE and enter my password.

So far I have tried:

Restart

First aid in disk utility

But even in the recovery mode

Repair of permissions through terminal

Verified that the application is in fact all running processes

Content of the application open and plugins will be removed.

Any ideas?

Exactly what app (s) you want to delete?

FWIW, any application installed with the operating system should not be deleted.

Some third-party applications must be uninstalled from their own uninstall program.

  • Move applications from the applications folder

    I just want all stuff in public services, as I used to (I used to just make things out in Applications when I had to update and then put them back where I wanted them). It is at least three years, and I always find a pain whenever I'm looking for an application to search through applications and utilities.

    The integrity of the system power off did not help. I continue to be tempted by Linux, but this would involve a lot of self-tutorial of computer programming. With this in mind, please explain technical terms in your answers.

    In any case, thank you.

    You can not just open the Applications folder in the Finder, press command + A to select all, command + C to copy, then open the Utilities folder and press Command + V to paste in?  You can then delete the copies located in the Applications folder, so you do not have two of everything.

  • File in the applications folder

    I accidentally dragged a + 1 GB MP4 file in my applications folder. When I try to drag the output file, it appears only in my movies folder (or another folder, including the desktop) as an alias of 440 KB. Through the get info (command I) I have reset the permissions so anyone can read/write, but the same problem persists. How can I fix this problem so I can drag the real file on applications and in the movie as a complete file folder? It is a weird scenario I have not experienced before.

    Thank you.

    Hey Danielmak,

    Certainly a strange scenario with your MP4 showing a reduction in the size with a few hundred KBs Alias. Not to worry, this should do the trick for you.

    Try right click on the file that is located in the Apps folder, and then click Copy 'filename '. Once you have copied to the clip board, you can then paste the original file in the folder sequences or according to folder that you choose. After you have copied, open the folder that you copied the file and check it's there and can open as expected. If all is good, you can delete the file you have in the Applications folder to remove it from this place.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. Have a great day!

  • Bad icon in the Applications folder - good point about the taskbar

    I installed Firefox. Logo of Firefox to the applications folder, but what is displayed is a different logo, with a white circle and a slash through the circle (as the crossed red circle on one car don't symbolize the 'no parking' on a road sign). When I dragged this logo in the taskbar, the correct Firefox logo appears in the taskbar, but in my file applications, strange logo is still there. Don't know if this means that there is a problem with the installation - were displayed no error message during the installation.
