Just drag the Mac OS 9 System Folder to the trash, and then any other OS9 files you don't need eg. OS9 applications etc.

Not if you dragged it to the trash!

Mac OS 9: Booting in Mac OS 9 at machine startup.

Classic: Loading Mac OS 9 after you have booted Mac OS X

Both need a complete Mac OS 9 system folder installed on you system. If you drag it to the trach, none of them will work!

Open terminal

Type "sudo rm -rf " without the quotes and drag any folder that you want to be gone into the terminal window and hit return.

Enter your password and the folder will be gone.

Personally I don't understand why you would want to get rid of classic. It doesn't take up much drive space and allows you to run a classic program if the need arises, but people do some strange **** to their computers…

I have been running all OS X with no OS 9 folder sitting around for a year.... I see no reason for it.
