How do I delete/uninstall widgets?

Hi wholemilk

While in the Dashboard click on the plus button in the bottom left corner and then select manage widgets. A new widget will be displayed, it shows you all the installed widgets, find the nike+ widget in the list and press the red minus next to it.

J.C

any widgets you've installed should be either in homedirectory/Library/Widgets or possibly in /Library/Widgets. Trashing the widget file should do it. The latter directory contains all the default apple widgets so be careful not to delete any of them.

wholemilk,

Use the Dashboard Interface + (Manage Widgets...) button to deactivate/delete the widgets that you desire to remove.

Depending upon where the widgets are installed, you may see a white line inside a red circle icon next to the name of the widget. If you click on that icon you will be given the opportunity to move that widget to the trash.

Widgets installed in the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Widgets folder will use that method for removal.

Widgets installed in the Macintosh HD/Library/Widgets folder will not have that icon and should first be unchecked. Then go to the Macintosh HD/Library/Widgets folder and drag the widget to the trash. You will be required to authenticate as as user with administrative privileges in order for the widget to be trashed.

and while I'm at it the calculator that automatically opens every time I hold the button on the mouse.

Are you sure that a widget which is controlling that behavior?

You might want to check your System Preferences...>Keyboard & Mouse>Mouse for deactivating that feature.
