[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1898968, member: 190607"] If something is only an alias, then it will only be a few kilobytes of data, not over a megabyte. All sorts of things create various sorts of alias' to function. Once the original software is deleted, all that is left is the alias', which take up next to no space and which don't do anything and can be ignored. You can try dragging them to the TrashIt! icon, but if that doesn't work, I wouldn't worry about them. However, if they show up in Activity Monitor, then they are still doing something, and you should consider nuking them. [/QUOTE]
