[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1555412, member: 54417"] There is one golden rule when removing apps. If you installed the app by simply dragging it to the application folder, then drag it from the application folder to the trash. If you installed an app using an installer, then use the same installer to un-install that app ( and not just simply dragging it into the trash, leaving all sorts of files behind. ) That's it. A plist file that remains on the disk is not an issue at all as long as there is no piece of code accessing the plist file. It is not a flaw of any OS. Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
