I'm learning Poser 6.0 kinda.. but he installed so many props and other things on here that I will never use or have NO need for.. can anyone tell me how to safely erase these, without destroying Poser..?

Don't get rid of anything rworrilow. Back it up onto a DVD or somewhere if hard drive space is your problem. The more content you have, the more potential you have to make a variety of work. Just what do you have in the way of characers and props? You must have a lot  of stuff if you're thinking of erasing files.**

Sure that it is legal to use others licenses? Thought licenses are bound to a person, not to a computer. If this is legal, it should also be ok to resell Poser and Poser items...

If you read a "license", there is no specific name  in there, so it's not "person" specific.  It says "user".

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

Your right it says "USER" (Single User)

US inheritence laws are strange... His copy of Poser can be used because he passed and I took over his computer and all of the items he purchased for it.. He could have resold his copy of poser and the Lisence. but he could then no longer use it or have it on the computer..

I need to change the license to my name.. and eventually I will do this...

NO (He Now I) can not sell copies of anything for Poser unless I stopped using and delete them from this computer

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!)
