Some Microsoft Excel 3.0 Files Not Removed on Office Install

• Microsoft Office for the Macintosh, version 4.2

SYMPTOMS

When you install Microsoft Office on a computer on which you have previously installed Microsoft Excel version 3.0, and if you choose to remove the version 3.0 of Microsoft Excel, not all of the Microsoft Excel files are removed from your hard disk drive.

WORKAROUNDS

To work around this problem, drag the Microsoft Excel version 3.0 files that are not removed to the trash. Note that you do not need to delete any of these files in order for Microsoft Office or Microsoft Excel to run correctly.

MORE INFORMATION

When you install Microsoft Office, the Setup program detects previous versions of the Office applications that are installed on your computer, and asks if you want to remove them. This allows you to free up disk space on your computer. However, when the Setup program detects Microsoft Excel version 3.0, and asks you if you want to remove this version, the following files and folders are still installed on your hard disk drive if you choose to remove the previous files:
