[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1623845"] If the software came with an uninstaller, or if it is a "registered with the mothership" kind of software (MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite, etc), then you run the uninstaller, otherwise just drag it to the trash from the Applications folder. The small files that applications create that get left behind are trivial, for the most part. If you are anal about it, you can get one of several apps that will clean up the debris, AppCleaner is one, there are others. I don't bother because the files are small and harmless and they get cleaned out at the next OS upgrade, which has been about every 18-24 months. [/QUOTE]
