    Whenever I search Adobe in finder I find over 2,500 images. I want to completely remove Adobe CS3. What I'm wondering is if these images I'm finding are part of it or if they actually should be there. If they shouldn't be there then I want to get rid of them because they are taking up space.

    Use the installation pkg that you used to install CS3 to uninstall it.

    I already uninstalled the bulk of CS3. These are just files that I'm finding laying around when I search Adobe. I'm not sure if they should be there or not. I'm wondering if it would be more worth it just to reformat the whole thing and start over...

    Hopefully someone has a better solution but I ended up reformatting my hard disk to get rid of all the Adobe leftovers.

    Yeah that's what I'm on the verge of doing. I can restore everything to normal from those discs that came with my MBP, correct?

    Did you use an uninstall tool, or just drag to the trashcan? If you dragged to the trashcan, or used the built in adobe uninstaller then that's why they got left behind.
    I'd suggest reinstalling, then using appDelete to uninstall. If the files are still there then that means they have nothing to do with CS3.

    Why did you pay for CS3 and then uninstall it? Wish I had the money to do that...

    I just copied CS3 from the internal drive to an external one to free up space for Windows... Now, I'm trying to uninstall every last bit from my comp. I didn't have Appdelete at the time so I just dragged the application into the trash.

    Image files have a TAG that denotes by which program they were created etc. and CS3 Bridge automatically scans and tags all images on your computer, so those images youfind will keep that TAG unless you retag each of them manually
