[QUOTE="Andre, post: 736999, member: 55311"] When you start your computer, hold down command+s to boot into single user mode. This will bring you to a prompt, which should be in your root folder. If you type ls (that is LS, but in lowercase) this will list the files in the current folder. I am pretty sure it boots in the root folder, but I'm not 100% sure... I'll assume it does for the time being. To find your applications type: cd Applications ls This will change the directory to your Applications folder, then it will print out all of the files in this folder. To delete an application, type rm <applicationName> It should prompt you to confirm you want to delete this application, then it's gone! [/QUOTE]
