Delete and Reinstall AOL for MAC OS X
I have been unable to find out how to delete and reinstall AOL for MAC OS X. No one at AOL online help has any confidence. Can anyone explain how to delete without losing personal filing cabinet? Thank you .John

Thank you again for all your efforts.
The answers your questions are as follows.
I was only accessing AOL from 10.2.8.
Path to data with 5 items is HD > Desktop Folder Mac OS 9(alias) > Data > 5 items
Path to data with 3 items is HD > Data created Jan 2004 not dragged from 5.0.
The 3 items in the trash were dragged there from the new AOL folder accessed from Shared. I had forgotten , in all this confusion, that I can put these 3 items back individually . They are no longer in a single file.
The original address book on the AOL toolbar is accessible and contains all the old addresses.
The Data 23/9/05 is a folder just as you suggest but there is no Dictionaries folder.
I use Auto AOL as this is the way I have always accessed emails and have them saved straight in the filing cabinet. I did not know of a better method.
When I double click on Hard Drive and the window opens, there is NO users folder listed. The only way to access Users is to get it from Find
So we have access to the old address book and favourites, but , to date, not the filing cabinet.
If there is any possibility of retrieving the old emails, I would certainly be very glad.
And still AOL is quitting, this time as soon as I went to the online mailbox. Also emails are not being stored in the filing cabinet even though in AOL preferences this option has been chosen.
