[OS X TeX] Mac TeX 2014: how to remove previous versions

[Louis Talman]

Go to "applications" by clicking it on the "Go" menu in the menu bar at  
the top of your screen.  If there's an application named  "Terminal" in  
that directory, double-click on it.  If not, double-click on the  
"Utilities" folder and find the terminal application there amd  
double-click on it.  When the terminal window opens, type exactly

open /usr/local/texlive

That will open the texlive folder in a finder window, and you can drag the  
2013 folder to the trash, provided you have administrative privileges.  If  
you don't, have someone who does do it for you.
