[QUOTE="6string, post: 951287, member: 120039"] [url=http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html]Running Mac OS X Maintenance Scripts[/url] When deleting applications, you just simply need to drag them to the trash. If an application comes with an uninstaller, then it is best to use that. You can use applications like AppCleaner and AppZapper to delete apps, but on occasion, certain files that are needed for multiple applications may end up in the trash when using those apps, so it's good to be sure that you double check all the files that come up when using those applications to uninstall. You can also look into applications like Onyx [url=http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html]Titanium Software[/url] and Mainmenu [url=http://mac.wareseeker.com/Utilities/mainmenu-1.7.4.zip/bcb7a249c]MainMenu 1.7.4[/url] which are both good maintenance applications. It's always good to run disk permission repairs before and after any major software installations, and any upgrades. [/QUOTE]
