To deactivate an app, right click its icon in the dock and select Quit option (or choose iStat Menus > Quit iStat Menus on the Menu bar).Īlso, you can access the Activity Monitor (located in /Applications/Utilities/ folder), and see if there is any background process pertaining to the app.

Option 1: Drag iStat Menus icon to the Trash If iStat Menus cannot be quit normally, you can select the app in Activity Monitor, click the large red “Quit Process” button in the left corner and click Force Quit button in the pop-up dialog.

This drag-to-delete method works in all versions of Mac OS X. Most 3rd party apps can be smoothly uninstalled in that way, but you cannot delete built-in apps by doing this.

Some apps installed using the Mac package installer will prompt you for a password when you try to move it to the Trash. In any case you cannot move iStat Menus to the Trash or empty the Trash, try holding the Option key as you choose Empty Trash from the Finder menu, or reboot your Mac and try it again later. Warming: It is important to point out that, emptying the Trash will instantly wipe off iStat Menus as well as other files you’ve thrown into the Trash, and that this act is irrevocable, so make sure you haven’t mistakenly deleted anything before emptying the Trash.
