[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1570529, member: 112842"] Guys, you can delete an alias (aka, shortcut) of an app that is still running. OP, you need to be more precise when describing what is happening and what you are doing. [B]hi, i have apps on my desktop When i try to delete them they reappear.[/B] Ok, how are you deleting the icons on your Desktop? When do they reappear? (immediately? after a restart? when?) [B]they are in the dock as well but if i drag them to trash,[/B] I'm assuming that here, you mean you are dragging an icon from the Dock to the Trash. That's not how you get rid of icons on the Dock, but I thought you just wanted to get rid of them from the Desktop. If you're not concerned with the icons in the Dock, don't mention it. [B] they say the program is still running and so it cannot be deleted. I have tried to move them to the apps folder but they are in there.[/B] Here, I think you're back to talking about the icons on the Desktop. Guys, again, it's possible to move an alias to the Applications folder that contains the original, as long as the names are not identical.
