Hi.

I have no idea if this is the best place to ask this?

In the past year, I've made the leap from film to digital, and from PC to Mac. (I love my Macbook pro!)

Anywhoo, I'm now making the leap to full photoshop. And, I am playing with Lightroom, too. I originally *tried* them a couple of months ago, but when I heard the rumors buzz about the CS5 and Lightroom 3.... I waited.

So, now I realize I need to clean space and keep my cutesy little Macbook a happy Mac. I uninstalled the CS4 trial without issue. Then, I tried to uninstall my now-expired Lightroom 2 trial. I can't seem to.... Hmm. It doesn't give me the same little "uninstall" option that shows in other apps. Apple help is not helping....

Can I just drag it to the trash? I do not know! I anxiously awaiting my CS5, and I want allllll my space for things I use!

Thanks,
Blessings,
Laura

Most OSX applications can just be dragged to the trash - they're pretty much self contained. They write out some settings to ~/Library, but aside from that the bulk is held in the "application" which is actually a folder with a very specific layout of files inside it, including the actual executable binary.
