  Unistalling FCP 5

  Posted by Alejandro Marin on October 4, 2006 at 9:51 pm

  Ok, I’ll admit that I posted this ages ago, got an answer and I swear I saved the file somewhere, but it’s now lost. I’ve tried finding the post itself, but no luck. Can someone tell me the procedure again on how to uninstall FCP 5 (not 5.1). Thanks and CIAO!!!!
