My sympathies on your uncle's death, first of all. If your problem is that your libraries are clogged up, the quickest way to clear them is to back up your Runtime directory and delete items from the libraries. This is best done in Windows Explorer since you can delete whole folders if necessary, and if you accidentally get rid of something that you want, it will be in the recycle bin. The (-) key on the library palette does a permanent delete, bypassing the recycler. However the surest way to end up with a minimal installation that you can use for learning is to reinstall from the original CD. If you have plenty of space, you can leave the original installation in place and install to a new folder; or if not, back up and delete (but if I were you, I'd want to check that the CD wasn't damaged first!)
