Hey guys how are you doing?
I have been trying to delete my iMovie and iDVD applications with the AppCleaner application, and it keep saying "You're trying to delete one or more protected applications" Any solutions to that? Or should i just drag it to the garbage bin and empty trash can like that?

Thanks for your help ^^

Do you really want to get rid of these programs?

Anyway, try http://www.appzapper.com/ I believe you can use it 5 times before you need to pay for it. Good luck!

right click on the file, get info, and see if it is listed as a protected (locked) file. if so, un-check it.

Hi what do you mean really want to get rid of, is it unsafe to delete these files? I've heard that if you do not have a dvd rw on your mac it'll be pointless using those programs, so why not save up a little bit more space.

And the lock thing is grayed i couldn't click any of it...
