Default Trash it?

Can't you just drag the application into the trash?

No. When I try to drag the Limewire folder from Applications to the trash it says that I cannot do it because "you do not have sufficient privalages for some of the items". If I try to drag files "items" from within the Limewire folder in Apps, I either get a message stating I cannot not do it because the folder is in Root or the message "The item Limewire cannot be moved to the trash because it cannot be deleted".

I've never had this kind of trouble getting rid of something.

If I recall the problem correctly, I had installed LW under one admin user, and was then running it from a different admin user account. 10.2.8 wouldn't allow one user to delete another user's installs.

Either login as the user that installed LW, or if your current user has admin privileges, click on the LW folder and use "Get Info" (command-i) to get at the ownership settings.

Cheers
