Delete Time machine from my apps.

I no longer use time machine, it is not connected. I used it just to migrate my info from old mac. I can't delete it from applications. It has only one back up. I do not have a right click mouse. Thanks

Time Machine Backup Application is a very usefully application to have even if not used at all. As it TM Backup is Part of the Operating System - it can NOT be deleted / removed. If not using it, just leave it alone. Attempting to remove it by whatever means may render the Entire OS corrupted and unusable.
