I put the keyboard app on my Mac, then decided to remove it. I moved it to the trash but got a message saying I lacked permission even though I’m an admin. I tried hiding the lock box but it stayed gray. I changed my access settings to read/write but received “no permission.” Various commands to delete the app didn’t help. I installed Clean Mac or something similar, yet the issue persists. F*cking frustrating. Why is this so tough on Mac? It’s much simpler on Windows. Got any other tips?

The application is commonly referred to by its specific name, though dragging often resolves the issue. Occasionally, it may require more precise commands like removing the entire folder.

This function operates effectively 99.9% of the time, which is why it's advisable to proceed
