Uninstall an application.

Hi

I installed a software and the icon is seen on applications but not seen in applications folder. I wish to remove this icon. How can I remove this please?

Thanks again.

??? What software is it?

And did you look in both Applications folders? The 2nd one being in your user account?

Thanks again for your interesting reply. it was very helpful. Thanks again problem solved thanks to you.

Have read this thread with interest.

Sorry, but I am not quite clear about bobtomay's comment:

I've just looked, and see that I have only the one Applications Folder ... I see it when I click on Mackintosh HD.
I am really the sole user on this MPB, although I did create a 2nd user account for my wife when setting up the machine in the first place.
I don't see why it would be necessary to have two Applications Folders.
Is it the case that I might need a second Applications Folder if my wife were using an Application that I would never use?
But is it not better to have all the Applications on common ground and thus available to both users?

Thanks in advance ...

You will find the 2nd one if you look in your home folder.

Some applications install per user by default and they will install into your users home/Applications folder rather than the one located at the root of the drive.

OK ... I see what you mean.
I thought that "home folder" meant the one showing the house icon!
Now I realise that it is the one which is labeled (My name's) Computer.
However, I see that in the Home Folder, there are two more applications listed than in the Mackintosh HD Folder, but I have not looked closely to see what they are. Is this discrepancy anything to be concerned about?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Yes, that's what it means.

Not necessarily. I do not have an Applications folder in my Home folder.
