deleting minecraft

Go to Finder

Then do Shift+Command+G

Then type this in:

~/Library/Application Support/minecraft

Delete all of its contents

And you are done

Tried this but the icons still show up in my Launchpad?

I can't delete the icons from the launchpad but I was able to remove some other icons from the Applications folder. Minecraft doesn't show up there. As long as it's gone and not taking up memory I don't care if the icon is still there. Thank you for the help. 🙂

Download and install this free utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac

Then drag the Minecraft app to the AppCleaner window.

That will not only delete the app but all the associated files.

I would remove it from launch pad as well because this may be an unused shortcut.

Yeah, it's just an unused application that still shows as a shortcut in the Launchpad (as mentioned by MACOSX24). Just simply drag it to the trash from the user "Applications" folder
