How do I REMOVE Office v.X ?
I need to remove my copy of Office v.X to clear up some hard drive space, since I never use it. I downloaded it to check it out; mostly to see what it has to offer, and for a look at it's GUI. (it is nice...but I just never use it!) I vaguely remember trashing a little app in the Value Pack folder of Office...and now I can't seem to TRASH anything else that has to do with Office v.X! (Wasn't that STUPID of me! ;-) A message comes up saying that the "trash is in use" . I 've even restarted my computer several times to no avail. Someone PLEASE HELP!! In fact, now I can't TRASH ANYTHING...it doesn't work, no matter what combination of things I am trying to throw away! How dare MS make you keep something that you don't want! I can't believe how hard it is to get rid of it, and how it has screwed up my Trash!

Oter plases to look is "cd /Volumes/OTHER PARTITION OR HD NAME/.Trashes" or "cd /.Trashes". (You have to be root to do a "ls -al" on the last one...)
secondly, look at "LOGIN" in System Preferences and see if something from office is being started at startup.
Worse comes to worse, bootup in OS 9 and delete from there.
