Answer 1

I think you may have installed the actual application on the desktop instead of in the Application Folder. See if this is the case by looking for it in Applications.

If you can't find it there, then I am right. Just drag the icon on your desktop to the applications folder.

Answer 2

just drag them in the garbage..thats it

Answer 3

right click delete
