the application that i'm trying to delete isn't responding, and when i force quit it it doesn't do anything. does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for the response, Kappy. It appears this question was submitted by my 10-year old son. He was playing Minecraft on my Mac and it froze up. We were able to fix the problem by simply rebooting the computer.
You cannot delete a running application. What is the application? Provide more detailed information, please. Please read Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question. We are here to help. We are all users. We are not mind-readers nor clairvoyants. We only know what you write down and tell us. Be specific and thorough. Include your hardware information and installed version of macOS. Try to write clearly. Think about what you want to say before you write it down, then re-read it to see if it makes sense.
