I cannot delete a chess app I have on my Mac.

I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of this app. I do not know why it would not go in to my trash can. I opened up the activity monitor and force quit the app, I put in in AppCleaner which it removed the files for it, but not the app. I restarted, turned off and on my Mac, but nothing. Every time I move the app to the trash can/folder a grayed out symbol (🚫like this but gray) appears under my cursor. Can someone help me out with this?


Thank you.

Hi Dibbeh,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


First, AppCleaner is junk and should never be used.


Secondly, if you are referring to the built-in Chess app by Apple, it cannot be deleted from your Mac. It must stay installed.
