    I have Civilization 6 on my Mac and I need to delete it for space. Problem is, I cant.

    I see the icon in the launch pad. When I click it, it does nothing. When I try to drag it to the trash, it bounces back.

    If I go to my applications folder, I do not see it in there.

    If I go to 'About this Mac' then 'Storage' then 'Manage', I see the application there, but it does not allow me to delete.

    Any thoughts? Running 10.12.6

    Thanks!

    The icon is probably locked in your launchpad but the app is gone. Right click the icon, hover over options and unclick Keep in Dock.

    Use your spotlight to see if the app is around.
