If you installed the RPM packages, then removing the directory is not what you need to do, as that will leave your rpm database out of sync with your system - and if you wish to reinstall could give you problems.

**IF** you installed the rpms you probably know this already, but for those who installed from a script and don't know how to remove them,
a simple command to remove them would be somehting like the following:

        rpm -ev `rpm -qa | grep "openoffice.*1\.9\.104*"`

(if you are not used to doing this, notice that there are 2 types of quotes in the above, the regular quotation mark ["] and the backwards
quote mark [`]).

The above example is for the 1.9.104 release - for the 1.9.100 release,
change the 104 to 100, etc.

You do have to remove the OOo directory from your home directory, a task which can be accomplished (using the above example, still) by doing a simple:

        rm -rf ~/.openoffice.org1.9.104

BTW, don't remove this last directory if you think you are going to reinstall that release UNLESS you don't mind re-doing all of your personal settings.

Hope this helps :-)
