older versions not cleaned up

[viceroysr]

I have upgraded office 3 times and I still have old directories and files for
office 97 including the old toolbar used in windows 95.
Is there a tool to cleanup older unused files and directories?

Utility to completely remove remaining Office 97 files and registry entries

This utility was easy to download and run even with XP.
Appears to have cleaned up alot of orphans in my documents but I still have
buried "office" sub-directories in "my programs" with old 1997 templates,
help files, and old items like binder, toolbar, etc.

If this cleaned up the registry, then this was worth it. I can manually
clean up files but I did not want to mess with the registry.

Thank you.
