Hi - I'm a new Mac user and I have a question re: uninstalling apps from Mac OS. I've already read posts about dragging icons in to the trash can but recommending using the uninstaller if the program came with an installer.
I had an Epson printer which I installed using the CD-ROM can came with it. Then I sold the printer with the CD-ROM, not realising that the uninstaller package was on the disc. I used App Zapper to remove anything that had Epson in it's name but there were still some folders in the Applications section which I deleted manually. (I realise this may have been wrong).
The only thing Epson related that I can see in Finder is some files in the Preferences section of the Library in a folder called Epson PIF. There are loads of small Epson files (20-200k) in there with "date modified" in 2007 (i.e 2 years before I got my Mac). They all have the file suffix .fd2.
Does anyone know if these are important or can be deleted safely? Yes I know I should have used the Uninstaller from the CD now.
Thanks
