How to uninstalling iWorks

Drag the +iWork '09+ folder (in the Applications folder) to the trash.

Also:

+~/Library/ Application Support/iWork '09+

+~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWork09.Installer.plist & com.apple.iWork09.plist+

where ~ is your user name or the System root, depending on whether you installed iWork for just you or for All Users.

There are more to delete
Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > iWork '09
Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork09.plist
Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork09.Installer.plist
~>Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.Keynote.LSSharedFileList.plist and also the following plists
com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.LSSharedFileList.plist
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
com.apple.iWork.Pages.LSSharedFileList.plist

Here is a script which does the complete task in a single call.

set p2f to path to preferences folder from local domain as Unicode text
set liste to {"com.apple.iWork09.Installer.plist", "com.apple.iWork09.plist"}
tell application "System Events"
 repeat with itm in liste
 try
 delete disk item (p2f & itm)
 end try
 end repeat
end tell
set p2f to path to library folder from local domain as Unicode text
set liste to {"Application Support:iWork '09", "Receipts:iWork09Trial.pkg"}
tell application "System Events"
 repeat with itm in liste
 try
 delete disk item (p2f & itm)
 end try
 end repeat
end tell
set p2f to path to applications folder from local domain as Unicode text
tell application "System Events"
 try
 delete disk item (p2f & "iWork '09")
 end try
end tell
set p2f to path to preferences folder from user domain as Unicode text
set liste to {"com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist", "com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist", "com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist"}
tell application "System Events"
 repeat with itm in liste
 try
 delete disk item (p2f & itm)
 end try
 end repeat
end tell

Thank you for that Yvan.

Is that going to work I think I can see some typos:

+repeat with itm in liste+

should be:

+repeat with item in list+

unless itm and iteme are your named variables

Peter

itm is a name of variable.
liste is a name of variable too.
I can't use item or list which are AppleScript's reserved word.

Here is a slightly edited version 😉

After the fun, back to a serious version.

This time I used French_like names of variables.
It's my preferred choice because they will never conflict with reserved words.

During numerous centuries they where conflicts between French and English.
In AppleScript, it's *_Entente cordiale_* 😉
