[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 872577, member: 8287"] OSX does not use .DLL files, has no Registry unlike Windows. Most OSX files are self contained. Just right click on an application and then on Show Package Contents and you will see all the files that make the application run are in the application itself. Only thing that would be left behind by dragging the app to the trash is a few small configuration files. If those would bother you (in most cases there is maybe one small file) you can use a program like App Zapper or AppDelete and it will kill off even those configuration files. Dragging the app to the trash though is really all that is needed with most proper OSX apps. There is also this which is totally free.
