I cannot close Grammarly in order to delete it, Help Please

I had this problem this evening after downloading Grammarly for Desktop on my mac mini. I tried everything like force quitting, dragging to trash and like someone else mentioned, I think I was just deleting the shortcut. Anyways, I tried what a few others mentioned and went to the Activity Monitor and force-quit anything that had Grammarly in the process name within the Memory tab, and once I did that I went back to Applications, drug it to the trash bin and it was removed. So that definitely should, and hopefully will, work.

Success... I used the Activities Monitor and Forced Quit all of the Grammarly app activities that were running - in this case there were two. Then really really really quickly I sent the Grammarly app from the applications folder into the trash before it could start up again. Have to work really fast though, or it will start up again on you.

At first I kept forcing the quit in the Activities Monitor, only to have it start up again - like a zombie returning from the dead!!

But if you get it into the trash fast enough it will stay dead. Whew! be sure to empty the trash... or god knows where it might turn up next.

No matter what I do I can not get grammarly off of my Mac air. I have restarted, shut down, forced quit, I’ve gone to activity monitor and deleted all the grammarly I could but one stays and will not quit. I just don’t know what to do. Please help.

I've tried all the above and I still can't delete grammarly from my macbook air. When I try to move it to trash (it doesn't indicate it is running anywhere and I did quit it on dock once I clicked on it in launchpad - i get:

Quit Grammarly using the activity monitor in your launch pad. Once you quit it here, it will delete.

Go to the Apple on Menu bar and select Force Quit... then select Grammarly and click the Force Quit button. After that you should be able to move the Grammarly App Icon to the Trash and empty the Trash.

Sounds like maybe you are trying to delete a shortcut.

1.  Quit Grammarly.
2. Go to Finder > Applications.
3. Find Grammarly and move it to Trash.

After I force quit Grammarly and tried to move to trash the app icon was a ghost and would not drop to trash.

This app won't die!! Please, any other suggestions?

the Grammarly support site has this procedure:

1. Click on the Grammarly button in the menu bar and select Quit. 
2. Go to Finder > Applications.
3. Find Grammarly for Mac on the list and move it to Trash (or Bin).

it says Move to Trash, but remember you may not be Able to Empty Trash until after Restart.

Thank you so much for this advice. It worked for me. I had finder open right next to the trash bin and managed to dump the app quickly before it started up again.

Restart in Safe mode, where most add-ons are not loaded.

Ttry moving to trash from there.

Even if you can not immediately empty the Trash, after a Restart, Items marked 'in the trash' are not incorporated into MacOS, so the Trash should be empty-able.
