Uninstall open office on my mac?

Question

I already tried putting it in the trash and emptying it but it says that a bunch of files are in use.

Answer 1

Restart your computer, and try emptying trash again. If you encounter the same problem, you might be running Open Office automatically upon startup.

If this is the case, focus first on reconfiguring your computer so that Open Office does not run automatically on start up. Then, you should be able to empty your trash.
