[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 388695"] One of the dangers I see with a new Mac OS X user being told to perform a search with Spotlight and delete all files that has the name of the app is where there are plug-ins entirely independent from the app's install itself like for instance a QuickTime plug-in or an extension that adds functionality to another app. We long-time experienced Mac OS X users can use our judgment in the deletions of these files and can see the interconnection I mention above, but a new user will blindly delete then use some functionality in another app. [/QUOTE]
