How can I completely uninstall a program in OS X?
I like to make sure there are no files left of an uninstalled program, but sometimes I'll get messages like " this file owned by root" or that I don't have enough privileges.

The only reason I even use OS 9 is to remove these files that I can't in OS X,
Tomorrow I'll be replacing my hard drive and would like to install only OS X, if there's a way to completely uninstall a program.

To delete a folder owned by root, change its permissions, then delete it or use sudo rm.

Since you''re still booting to 9 to do this, I'm guessing your *nix knowledge is limited.

Just use this: http://www.versiontracker.com/morein...&db=macosx

In Terminal you can always type:

sudo rm -rf

and then drag the file or folder to the end of that line and then hit enter and it will delete it.
