Found another page dealing with that issue: Īll in all, if an app makes it this hard to uninstall, I'm 100% suspicious. I noticed that despite uninstalling it, it was open and active in the status bar. It seemed to work (the app icons were gone from the Applications folder) but if it was running before you uninstalled it, look at your status bar at top. But I couldn't delete the app itself until I found this site: I literally Got Info on every item, added myself to Permissions and then gave myself Read/Write privileges so I could at least delete those files. I was going into the Contents folder of the app (right click on the app > Show Package Contents) and found everything there was locked too. It's locked on install and no way to unlock it. Impossible to install unless you do it at the command level. However, whenever I try and put them in my app cleaner app or try to just drag them to the trash can I keep being told I do not have permission and that I need to go to Finder>Get info in order to unlock itAgreed with last poster. HELP (pics) I have been trying to get rid of and delete two apps of mine the 'Karabiner Elements' and the 'Karabiner Elements Observer'.

Unable to unlock and remove certain apps even with using the Terminal. Which I thought would work considering it prompted me to type in my computers password immediately but now even after that it still tells me to unlock it which I tried and it was still greyed out and even tried to delete it both manually and with the app cleaner and both told me again I didn't have permission and to unlock it using Finder>Get info Verify that it’s working properly by opening Karabiner-Event-Viewer. 'sudo chflags nouchg /Applications/Karabiner-EventViewer.app' 'sudo chflags nouchg /Applications/Karabiner-Elements.app' So then I found a post on here telling me I should use the terminal and type in Then when I try to change it the system tells me I dont have permission even though I am the system admin weirdly.Īfter doing some research I was told to try and go to the activity monitor which I did at first and tried to end the item running called the 'Karabiner Observer' but every-time I would do it and hit the X button it would just pop back up again almost immediately. However, whenever I try and put them in my app cleaner app or try to just drag them to the trash can I keep being told I do not have permission and that I need to go to Finder>Get info in order to unlock itīut when I do this the box where it says its locked is greyed out. I have been trying to get rid of and delete two apps of mine the 'Karabiner Elements' and the 'Karabiner Elements Observer'.
