| Post subject: | Mac heads, question |
I'm running 10.5.5 (Leopard? i think) Is it safe to delete the OS9 applications which I've never used in all my years of owning a mac. I am afraid this might mess up some compatibility issues, though I'm not savvy enough to think about where. I don't use any of these apps and am looking to free up some HD space for other things. advice? |

It shouldn't be an issue. Are they programs you have installed yourself? Mac does their OS a lot different than Windows. You generally don't get those problems with crucial extensions being deleted. I'm no expert but I've had my Mac for a LONG time and haven't had any issues in this type of situation. |

Definitely get rid of OS 9. Been a mac owner for almost 10 years and I can't recall the last time I had to use it. Not since OS X. |

I'm not 100% certain, but i think there are some legacy apps that still rely on some OS 9 carbon libraries, but deleting OS 9 apps shouldn't affect those. Those apps are few and far between anymore. |

Dump the OS 9 apps in the applications folder. But don't go messing around in the library folders cause things get more complicated there. Also keep in mind that when you buy a new Mac with Intel chips, OS 9 apps won't even run on it. OS 9 and OS 9 apps are history. Software designed for Intel Macs (not PowerPC) is the future. |
