If you have upgraded your Office 2008 Mac to Office 2011 Mac like myself, you might have noticed that Office 2008 remains on your computer taking up space. To get rid of it, follow these simple steps:

1. Go to Applications -> Microsoft Office 2008 -> Additional Tools -> Remove Office
2. Run ‘Remove Office‘
   
3. Go through the removal tool.  Eventually it will prompt you to select which version of Office to uninstall.  Select the correct version.
   
4. Empty your trash and you’re Done.
