Full Discussion: Adobe application cleanup
Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Adobe application cleanup Post 302591694 by kleinboy on Friday 20th of January 2012 10:54:57 AM

I think I solved it. Not terrible, but figuring out how to have the shell not split the the paths took me a while. The rest was fairly easy.

I'm posting it down below. Does anyone see anything that will cause me grief? I've tested it a few times and it seems to work and isn't deleting anything like / so far. Any sanity checks that would be smart?
