[QUOTE="smittyofdhs, post: 1449150, member: 273502"] The problem is that the app is uninstalled but there are still remnants in Location Services. Say you installed 10 apps that use Location Services, then you no longer wanted them, would you want those 10 apps to still appear in Location Services even though the app had already been uninstalled from OS X? There should be a simple delete function to remove the listing from the Location Services database. This was possible in 10.7 via the terminal commands found elsewhere, on the Apple communities, but 10.8 has made changes, therefore, there is no longer a way to remove these remnants. It's no different then Notification Center. When you uninstall an app from 10.8, it's removed from the list of apps that can create an alert in the notification center. If it didn't remove the information from notification center, then the notifications preferences would become cluttered with remnants of old, uninstalled apps. Fortunately, uninstalling app that uses notifications, does remove the app's name from the notifications preferences. All we want is the ability to be able to keep things clean and tidy. If the app has been uninstalled from the OS, then it should no longer show up in Location Services preferences. [/QUOTE]
