oopps please move this topic to the os x thread!
sorry about that!
need a cleaner uninstaller than Mac's easy drag and drop uninstalls, cause that only gets rid of whats in the specific folder and not its linked files else where on the HDD ...
over time junk builds up in your settings/preference folders ... old files from programs that are long gone, etc ...
is there an easy way to go through your preference folders/setting folders to delete unneccesary/left over junk from old installs (that you have already uninstalled) ...
I am asking because today I found out that some of my problems I was experiencing was caused by several old preference files that should've been deleted ...
or is it just easier to do a complete wipe and install?
how do you do a fresh format and reinstall?
(on the side ... i need to uninstall warcraft III (the latest patch doesn't work ... i want to try uninstalling, then installing and then patching ... are games installed exclusively in their folder? should I just drag and drop? when I insert the install disc, the only option is to install the game .. but only i already have it installed, can it not detect that?)
