How to delete clickshare launcher application

Tried to install an application called Barco Clickshare. www.barco.com

Now I have an application called Clickshare Launcher. Tried to delete it but it keeps saying "can't move this app to trash because the app is active" (an about translation from Finnish language 🙂)


Well, tried to make it stop but this app doesn't appear when you launch cmd+opt+esc.

MacBook Air, El Capitan 11.6

You can delete the clickshare launcher in the normal way (dragging it to the trash and emptying it) if you quit it using Activity Monitor first:


  1. Launch Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder in Applications)
  2. Find the clickshare launcher in the list of processes, you can click on the Process Name column to sort them by name
  3. Double click on the clickshare launcher application
  4. Click the Quit button
  5. Click Quit on the "Are you sure you want to quit this process?" message
  6. Move the clickshare launcher application to the trash and empty it


I hope this helps 🙂

The reason for what you probably have the message "impossible to remove a protected app" is caused by the fact that the application is running (I had the same problem) ... but nothing appears in the Dock ...


Launch Activity Monitor, locate the "clickshare launcher" process and kill it !


Now you can remove the app like you do usually (personally I use App Cleaner)
