Re: Removing Parallels ?

if you go into your user directory, then library you should see a folder called parallels in there

You can just trash this, as this is where your Virtual machine images are

Theres a brilliant app called Appzapper which will get shot of everything in one go for you - although in fairness, OSX is pretty tidy in where it stores prefs etc anyway.

Or alternatively, my images are in a parallels folder in Documents...Just move the directory to the Trash...

If you install XP in Bootcamp you can still use Parallels for those moments you do want it in XP...It can use the same install as for bootcamp! Pretty cool...Although I went the otherway, I don't need Windows for anything anymore...
