How to Delete Microsoft Office for Mac
The introduction of Apple's own word-processing program has prompted many Mac users to stop using Microsoft Office. Deleting Microsoft Office form the Mac's hard drive requires more than just dragging the Microsoft Office folder to the Trash, because a number of files are deposited in different places on the Mac's hard drive. Deleting Microsoft Office from the Mac's hard drive can be done in less than an hour using a special program designed by Microsoft and included with Microsoft Office. Deleting Microsoft Office will not damage the Mac's operating system in any way.
