sudo sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/Tcc.db 'delete from access where client like "%appnamehere%"'
Replace "appnamehere" with the name of the app as it appears in the Accessibility list (keep the % signs).

I asked how to remove items from the list. If you don't know, that's ok. If anyone DOES know, please contribute a positive comment. Thanks for faking the time to respond.
The goal is to remove apps that don't belong there, such as obsolete and deleted apps. There are suggestions on how to do this via Terminal in 10.7 and 10.8 here.
The only way to do it is to edit the plist as you linked, but seems like a large waste of time.
Thanks guys. I always try to keep obsolete stuff off my machines whenever possible, especially when the OS says the list is for apps to control the machine! Just seems like a sensible practice to me.
It's just a text file. It isn't keeping your app alive or anything.
Well some apps are still on the Mac and I wanted to make sure they don't get checked inadvertently. THanks again for the reassuring posts.
Erase your drive, Clean install your system and just reinstall the Apps you want.

IOW, he doesn't know either...
Whatever you reckon.
Good luck, you are going to need it. 😉

You have to find the plist file that stores that info (or possibly the sqlite3 database), then delete or edit it.
There is a method!
I don't. So I need to go to terminal and... do what? If I just knew where to go I could at least try to do what Josh suggested.... thanks !
Cheers!
And sorry, I have no resource to suggest. I've just learned a little bit more each time I needed to solve a problem, and have run into a lot of problems.
Hi have you figured out how to accomplish this yet? I have a way to remove it if you have not and its as simple as running this software and it resets all of your accessability apps.
