MacOS, how to remove an unused service item in keyboard shortcuts

Question

I'm new to Mac OS and studying at Automator, I found it useful, but not quite controlled. I made a shortcut in services, but I do not know how to remove it.

The item I highlighted is what I want to delete. I think I should do it with Automator, but I don't know how to do it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

crtl + click on a service to get a context menu for this service.

Select "Show in Finder."

This will lead you to the service file by opening a new search box and selecting it.

You just need to delete the file from the Services folder.

When you close and reopen System Prefs. The service will no longer be there.

Answer 2

Here are some good things to know too.

@markhunte seems to have a good answer, but here's a different way:

If you are in Automator.app,

• Open the service you want to remove. You may need to select "Open ..." from the menu and enter a command-line period with a key combination to view invisible files, such as ~ / Library (which is now invisible by default in Mountain Lion.)

• Your services (those that are local to your account) are located in the folder: ~ / Library / Services

• After opening the service in Automator, hold down the command key and click on the window title. (This works in most Mac applications - not just Automator for document discovery in Finder.)

Once you find a document in Finder, you can simply transfer it to the trash, just like any other document.

In addition, other types of Automator workflows can be found similarly in the following directory:

~ / Library / Workflows / Applications

I think with such a Thing that Apple has just complicated it.

• When the ~ / Library folder is now hidden by default.

• In order to be able to open hidden files, you need to know the period of change of the "secret handshake".

and

• To be able to open documents in Finder, but you also have a "secret handshake" while holding down the control key while clicking on the title of the document window to be able to detect documents in Finder.

I think that in order to get Apple to change these things, the way they listen is that many developers create an error report:

Answer 3

Take a look at ~ / Library / Services or / Library / Services

In Finder, ~ / Library is now the default invisible folder in Mountain Lion. Of course, people can google for “hidden Mac files” and find a command to enter on the command line to make all files and folders visible. As a programmer, I like to see everything.

Unix command: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
