I forgot how to delete appleworks documents.
Same way you delete any other documents -- or programs -- or anything else. Drag them to the trash.
Maybe the question was "how do I find all the personal documents to delete them?" That's kind of a good question, even if it isn't the one that was asked. If it's under OS 10, you can use "find" on the command line to look for files that are owned by a specific user. I don't think there's a way to do it on OS < 10 (but that doesn't mean there isn't).
Assuming you have a user named "joe" and you'd like to find all his files, you can run (at the command line)
find >out / -user joe
and get a list in the file "out". If you want to delete them all it's a little harder, since the funny Mac filenames (a technical Unix term for filenames with spaces, quotes, and so on in them) give the shell hives. I have a perl script I wrote that may help in that case which outputs all file names as single-quoted strings. I won't attach it to the message since many Mac users seem to be offended by the idea of non-visual tools, but if anyone wants it, just email me.
