App taking up space and cannot be deleted from Mac

I have an application that I cannot delete off my Mac for space. I deleted the app a while back but when I look at my disk space, the app is still there as a ghost. I cannot delete it, or move it or find it on my laptop, but it still takes up space as if it is still there. Is there a way to get rid of it without going to the Apple Store?

Hello deannarosegillespie,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having trouble removing an app from your Mac.


Take a look at this article for steps to uninstall the app: How to uninstall apps on your Mac


If those are the steps you've taken, but you're still unable to remove the app, you'll want to contact Apple Support: Get Support.


Take care.
