How do I deinstall the full deck spider Solitaire? I liked the old one better. The new one doesn't open, and when it did it had too few rows of cards. Boring.

I installed the update for Spider Soitaire, tried it twice, and didn't like it. Now it won't open! I would like to deinstall the whole thing, but I can't drag it to the trash because I get the message "cannot be put in trash because it is open" or "cannot be put in trash because it cannot be opened. I'd like to go back to the old version. I do not know what operating system I have on this 2011 I-Mac, or whether it's Lion or Tiger.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), I do not know how to find this info

Hi there,

If the system is reporting that the application is open, but you are seeing no sign of it being open, you may want to bring up the Force Quit window and quit out of the application from there. Once this is done you should be able to uninstall the application by moving it to the Trash and then emptying the Trash folder. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
