To get completely rid of apps you don't want, go to apps folder, put the app in the trash. go to /library/preferences/preferencepanes and find and delete any preference panes with the app name. Have a look in system/library/preferences also, there are a few other places and spotlight may turn up something but mostly that's it. Look for .pkg files with the app names and delete them.

guess that's why I'm so clean and often clean up my mac every few months or so. aps, if they don't work or don't like, they go to the trash. onyx is a good app on leopard, hope they update it to work with SL.On Aug 29, 2009, at 6:45 PM, ashley wrote:Well, I can't give examples of the exact file names, as I didn't look at those. However, when I upgraded my mac, I found left over files and settings from leopard that were messing up some of my applications, including skype. Also, if you upgrade, stuff in the library folders (i assume so anyway) is still there, using up space on a disk. If, like me, you don't have enough space on a disk to do an upgrade, a clean install is the best way to go. I think another reason I don't like upgrading is i'm a windows user as well and if you upgrade windows you'll hate your computer.ash Personal website: www.ashleycox.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryl Homiak" <chomiak@xxxxxxxxxxx > To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, August 29, 2009 6:12 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Upgrading vs. clean installYou've mention bits of leopard a couple of times. what exactly are youreferring to?
