SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Office on a computer on which you have previously installed Microsoft Excel version 3.0, and if you choose to remove the version 3.0 of Microsoft Excel, not all of the Microsoft Excel files are removed from your hard disk drive.

WORKAROUNDS
To work around this problem, drag the Microsoft Excel version 3.0 files that are not removed to the trash. Note that you do not need to delete any of these files in order for Microsoft Office or Microsoft Excel to run correctly.

This allows you to free up disk space on your computer.
