Help needed, please

I bought my M9 back in March and waited to download LR3, which is finally available. As many may have discovered, the "free" download only applies to LR 2.6.1. So I went ahead and downloaded that to my Mac Book Pro. Then, I "upgraded" to LR 3 via Adobe and paid the 99 buck fee.

 

SO NOW I HAVE LR 2 AND LR 3 IN MY APPLICATIONS FOLDER, and I want to get rid of LR2. So, what the best way to do this? Simply drag the LR2 application icon to the trash? Will that leave a lot of unneeded LR 2 files still on the computer? Should I use "Clean App"?

 

Any advice as to what you have done much appreciated!

Not sure about OS X but in the good old windows world, you just hit uninstall and it removes all the old files from LR2, leaving LR3 unaffected.

Not a Mac user either.

But there seems to be a discussion in this thread, which may be relevant to your question:

Just drag the LR2 icon in your Applications folder to the Trash and delete it.
