You are right, sort of. It would have been better if I said remove
the entire OOo directory. But the OP had done a search, so she knew
where many of the files were. Again, doing it this way might not remove
all of the files. But, since she did a search and found quite a few
files, it seems logical to me that her search had to include at least
one of the OOo sub-directories (sub-folders). It is even possible that
she searched for "openoffice" and found all the files.
