I am relatively new to the mac and am a pc switcher.
I am used to the uninstall/remove program option on Windows. Is there something like this on OS X? I don't see it and assume that it is as simple as dragging the program icon(s) to the trash can to delete. I installed the entire Final Cut Studio but then realized the only two sections of it I use are Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio. To free a lot of wasted space I decided to remove Livetype, Motion, and all the other sections but it didn't free up that space. Am I doing something wrong? What is the best way to remove this and other programs completely from OS X?

It should free up the space after you delete them. Make sure you empty your trash afterwards, otherwise the space will not be freed!

With LiveType, it installs fonts and many other things that the program uses. There should be a folder possibly in (~/library/application support) it should be called livetype and it'll most likely be several GBs large. There might be one for Motion and any other pro apps you have installed. If you download Disk Inventory ( it's free) it will show you where alot of your space is in a nice and easy GUI interface. That should help you see where most of the data is going and help you find an delete what you don't need.

Hope this helped.

It is as simple as just dragging it to the trash.
