Just upgraded from CS2 Premium to CS4 Premium on Mac 0SX 10.5.6, but left CS2 on there as I wanted to copy over a few preset files etc from CS2 to CS4. Now I want to remove CS2. I've got an old document link for removing CS2 but it mentions removing directories that I know CS4 has installed or shares (e.g. Adobe Utilities and Adobe Updater) Is there a new walkthrough or utility to remove CS2 once you have upgraded to CS4?

Buko That's a bit too succinct and general.... In your apps folder will be a folder call 'Adobe Creative Suite 2'. Within this is an' uninstallers' folder which contains the file 'How to uninstall.pdf'. This file is reproduced (as far as I can tell) at <http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331301> This talks you through the various folders/files to remove. BUT BEWARE - this was written before CS3/4 existed and as my post (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b82bde) points out, there will be some folders it suggests you remove, but that CS4 actually need (e.g. Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities folder). I'm seeking a new 'How to Remove CS2 after installing CS4' document myself. Have spoken to Adobe Tech support today and their suggestion was to "not remove any files/folders you think CS4 may need'. How flaky is that for Technical Support - some people like to keep their hard drives lean.

Well why bother asking if you already have the answer. Hard drives are big now the few extra KB left behind in the form of prefs and such will not do anything.
So I stand by post #1

Calm yerself! I asked the question when I didn't know the answer. I then got the answer from Adobe, as no-one had replied with a valid answer. Once armed with the correct information, I thought I would share it with those who like their information detailed and care about their systems' housekeeping. So I stand by post #3 Anyone else want some?
