Can’t delete a Mac app because it’s still open? Here’s the fix!
<p>“The item “<Application> ” can’t be moved to the Bin because it’s open.”</p>
<p>This article is also helpful if you have tried all the methods to quit an application including Method 1 but still cannot force quit the application(See Method 2).</p>

<p>“The item “Google Chrome” can’t be moved to the Bin because it’s open.”</p>
<p>You can try one of the two methods to fix the issue. I advise to use the first method before hopping on to the second method.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Method 1:</strong></li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Open <strong>Spotlight</strong> by pressing Cmd+Space.</li>
<li>Type <strong>Activity Monitor</strong>.</li>
<li>Select the application from the list.</li>
<li>Click on the <strong>X</strong> in the upper left corner of the window.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Quit</strong> to confirm that you want to quit the process.</li>
<li>Now open <strong>Finder</strong> and go to the <strong>Applications</strong> directory.</li>
<li>Select the application from the list.</li>
<li>Right click and press <strong>Move to Trash.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Did Method 1 not work, don’t worry. There is a Method 2.(Only if you get the error of the type in the image above while uninstalling an application).</p>
