Take the 2-minute tour ×  When I clicked on the Finder and my
username, I open the Applications folder, and there was nothing
in it. Somehow (a long time ago) I had deleted its contents.
However, when I typed Applications in the search in the top
right corner of the Mac, it gave me a folder called Applications
with all my Adobe products, MAMP and other software in it. So
what I did was "copy all" on those applications and dragged them
to the empty Applications folder under my username. But then it
said it was copying 45,599 items and 13.06 GB of data. I don't
think I should have done it this way. It's taking a long time to
copy and I don't think I really wanted to duplicate the data.
What can I do  a) to reverse what I did (if I did indeed
duplicate all the data)  b) and then get those applications
LISTED in the right folder without duplicating the data
