I want to remove the demo Microsoft Office programs, help!

[Afro1989]

I want to remove the Microsoft Office programs that came as a 30 day trial with my Mac because I'm guessing that they're taking up some HD space. What's the point in me keeping these expired programs, right? I don't want to remove anything important though. Which out of these should I check? Thanks.

If they're both expired and you don't want them, go ahead and remove all of it...

I'm just not sure what Microsoft Office X is and I don't want to remove anything important.

X was the version of Office before 2004.

Office X is an version of Office that is older than Office 2004.

So it's safe to remove both?

If you don't want Office, yes.

The uninstaller shows both options, but there's likely no Office X installed, so if, say, you just check that and continue, it'll tell you there's nothing to delete (just did that on my MBP).

Silly, but harmless.

the Office X app could already be gone but the uninstaller might be finding preferences and such that are still in place....as an example, when I ran the unistaller last year on a new imac it found files for Office 98, Office 2001, Office X and Office 2004.....in my case those files all got there courtesy of the migration assistent
