Have a work laptop that I basically used as a work + personal laptop for years. Now I need to give it back without deleting certain programs.
Obviously I want to delete all my personal files including:
-bookmarks
-keychain
-mail
-any personal program data you can think of.
Few notes (from searching for this using Mroogle):
- Totally legal because work legally owns licenses for the programs
- I already tried creating a new admin user account in hopes that the programs will work there and I can delete my current admin account. Of course apps are available to the new admin user account, but certain scientific programs we have only allow 1 install, period. So I cannot simply re-enter license info there.
- Yes, I will do a 7 time re-write of all free space after I'm done deleting all files.
I have already deleted all personal files from the home folder.
3 main questions:
Can I now delete everything from /home/Library except for folders for the few apps I'm keeping without causing any problems?
What about /Library (not /home/Library)?
Anything else I should worry about outside of the 2 Library folders?
Thanks
