I need to make room to install Photoshop CS3
Hi All!
I need to get rid of my old versions of Photoshop and a few other apps to make room to install PS CS3. Can you point me to info on how to uninstall all the old versions and just have CS3 on my hard drive.
Thanks!

What OS?
For most, before installing the new software, put all the old applications into the trash. In your library folder, preferences folder, gather up all the files that have the Adobe photoshop in the name.
DELETE.
There you go.

Drag and drop your applications to the trash. The preference files are negligible for the most part.

If making room for Photoshop is a problem you don't have enough freespace on your HDD to run it, or at least not run it well.
PS gets very slow and creaky with too little swap space.
I’m not ready to make nice-I’m not ready to back down-I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round-It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could-‘Cause I’m mad as hell-Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Run at least two hard drives. One smaller one with just the OS. And a second with every single document that you ever created or will create in the future.
When it comes time to wipe it clean- you'll thank me.
Plus then your hard drive is getting beaten to death by swap files- use your second drive as swap space.
