[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 129472, member: 11094"] For the most part badmojo is correct. There are however some applications that create startup items or preference panes or have application support files and cache files that still remain. Demo's will often place a file on the HD so they expire correctly and can't be reused. And there's always the user prefs. Some apps will edit system files with a string of text that runs as a service. Some apps come with uninstallers so using them is not a bad idea. So have read me files that explain the best way to get rid of them. And yes, some you just drag to the trash. But completely getting rid of an app involves usually a bit more. [/QUOTE]
