Desinstalación manual de la Suite Creativa de Adobe (Mac OS X.3)

Cuando se trabaja con Mac OSX.3, la manera mas simple para desinstalar un programa, en particular cuando no se dispone del proceso "desinstalar" es removerlo de la carpeta de aplicaciones. Así, si simplemente echamos en la papelera las carpetas de Photoshop, illustrator, etc. se hace el trabajo.

Pero, en el caso de la desinstalación del componente de la Suite "Adobe Cue" hay que activar la aplicación "uninstal" que se encuentra en la carpeta del programa Cue.

De todas maneras y de acuerdo con el principio de Peter, si todo lo anterior falla, mas abajo transcribo un registro detallado del "sencillito" metodo sugerido para remover la suite "a mano".

En algunas ocasiones bien sea por que no se puede activar el proceso de desinstalación, o debido a una instalación parcial o defectuosa o a una desinstalación también defectuosa, quedan algunos archivos y carpetas vacias de aplicaciones en el sistema después de realizada la desinstalación.

La remoción manual de la Suite Creativa de Adobe asegura que sean removidos todos los archivos y carpetas.
