I had downloaded several apps to my macbook pro and tried to delete them from the application folder by dragging to the Trash, but they wont delete. Please help.

Application has to be not running. Command-Q will quit. Try right clicking (control-click) on the app in the Aplication folder, and select move to trash.

See if this works.

See Kappy's kompendium [sic] of application removal, in the following thread:

I tried to right click on the apps, but nothing shows up. I tried to drag them to the trash but they didn't delete. These are apps from the appstore--Connectfour, sudoku daily.
