SysCall('rm -R "%s"' % d).  It doesn't even move the files to the  
Trash.  At least it is quoting the directory path, so it should be  
OK.  SHOULD.

I don't use Adobe CS3 (or 2 or CS or really anything from Adobe, but  
I did look at the python script.

It reminded me WHY I dislike the Adobe apps so much.

There is a list of directories in the script that will be deleted.   
It's 110 lines.

Now, granted, most of them are in ~/Library/Application/Support/Adobe  
so there has been definite progress, but there is also a lot in / 
Library/Application Support/.

It appears, from the script, that removinf ~/L/App Sup/Adobe and /L/ 
App Sup/Adobe/ SHOULD be enough, but there's quite a few other files  
littering the list that (possibly) get deleted:

Adobe* would be cause for concern....
