Deleting an App doesn't require a lot of rooting
around, all you have
to do is hit Cmd-f, enter the name of the app you want
deleted, then
Cmd-delete every file associated with the app on the
list. Application
gone.

Try that w/ an app. like Adobe Photoshop 7.0.
problems If the full app. name is searched,:
#1 only Adobe Photoshop 7.0 is found. Numerous other
large files and folders wil remain. e.g. Adobe�
Photoshop� 7.0.1 Updater, Photoshop Elements Tryout
(100MB), etc.
#2 Photoshop files used by other app.s will be lost.
i.e. we need a way to sort out files used by app.s
other than that trashed.
#3 many files installed by many app.s have no direct,
obvious name related identification.
etc,,
Deleting based on name search can involve a lot of
rooting around.

Is there an easy, clear way to reply to individual
letters in the combined mailings?
