How to Uninstall/Reinstall Garageband?

Hi everyone. I'm trying to uninstall Garageband and I went to the site everyone keeps linking at, but I'm getting a little confused by the directions on how to reinstall. How do I completely remove all of GB and then reinstall it from the boot-up disk? Would the program be under an optional thing? I'd hate to go around and mess with something that could trash my Mac.

I've never had to uninstall or reinstall any of the programs on my Mac since I got it. So, if anyone can give me a bit of a step by step, that would be very much appreciated. 😀

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

How do I completely remove all of GB

since there is no uninstall option, you need to find all the parts and delete them by hand:

and then reinstall it from the boot-up disk?

it's on one of them, generally disc 2:

Hey, I also found something called an Application Support file where some of the loops were hiding in a sample instruments folder. Do you think it would be alright to just delete the Application Support file for Garageband? The site you linked me to made no mention about this particular file folder.
