Removing a program
is there a proper way to remove an application?
i just dragged my adobe photoshop cs2 and put it in the trashcan but now there are a few leftover files in the trashcan that will not empty/erase.

That happens sometimes. Usually logging out and logging back in fixes it.

dont worry, i tried it both ways - still doesnt work. i dont know whats up with this thing. its only one file in there. i was trying to delete adobe cs2 and theres a adobe cs2 folder in there with only an html document inside of that with a weird file name. if i take the folder out of the trashcan it is empty but if i put it back in the trashcan it stays full...everything will delete...jus not this file.

hmm. Get the information/properties of the said file (cmd+i), and see if it's locked. Uncheck it if it is, and try again.
Incidentally, what machine and OS are you using?

I hate when this happens, it's so annoying. It's just dodgy/lazy coding on Adobe's part.
You can try Secure Empty Trash, that sometimes clears it. Select Finder from the menu and press Secure Empty Trash.

I think it's an issue with unicode file names, the same problem happens with some of adobe's html legal documents flagging a problem in Disk Utility.
Rename the document and try deleting it.
