When the new iWork applications (Keynote, Numbers, Pages) for Mac are downloaded, the old iWork 09 folder remains in /Applications. If iWork 09 is not needed, this latter folder can be deleted. But what about the various support materials that iWork 09 installs, in /Library/Application Support and elsewhere? Does anybody know if the new iWork apps use this materials, or can they be deleted also?
(Btw, when I tried to post this query at Apple Discussions, I was told: "You are not allowed to create or update this content". Weird. Not like I was asking for tips to hack Mac OS X or anything. I was able to post in another thread, but repeated tries to post even a shortened version of this question elicited the same prohibition.)
(Further btw, I've learned that the new iWork apps can be downloaded from the App Store onto a fresh install of 10.9 if the iWork 09 folder is simply copied into /Applications; no need to do the whole installation. Of course the iWork 09 apps probably won't run in this case, though I didn't try, as I planned to delete the iWork 09 folder as soon as the newer apps were installed. I know the new iWork apps are a "downgrade" from the previous versions, but for somebody just starting out with iWork I figure they're good enough and will get better.)
