[QUOTE="badmojo, post: 129147"] Most applications install in two ways (1) there's an integrated installer in the download that puts the app and relevant documents into a subfolder within the Applications folder. (2) You unpack the download and drag the app into the Applications folder or a self-made subfolder yourself. Once you've done either of these you can trash the download folders or 'drives'. Uninstalling is usually the reverse. Just drag the app or its folder to the trash. There is NO REGISTRY on a mac, unlike Windows. If you're concerned about remnants floating around, do a search, find the little buggers, and drag them to the trash, as well. Some apps like Norton A/V for Mac are a hot topic around here because they are not this simple, but most apps are. [/QUOTE]
