Uninstall ArchiCAD 8.1 on a Mac?

Is it as simple as removing the ArchiCAD folder from my applications folder, or is there something more involved I should be doing to remove all of the folders? I have 10 installed on my computer so I would hate to accidentally delete something for 10. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Chris,
You can just remove the ArchiCAD 8 folder from your applications folder. However, remove the library folder first and keep it so your older projects can use the old library. Don't bother trying to clean up your old preferences. They don't take up much room and some of them will have the AC10 preferences mixed with them.

Also, if you haven't been doing this go to your Library/Caches/Graphisoft/ArchiCAD Cache Folder AC8. folder and delete the several hundred meg worth of Scratch files. Also do this on occasion in the AC 10 folder. This is Graphisofts most egregious programming error in my opinion.
