Re: "Recovered Files" Always in Trash

Hi Mark,

I've only half followed this thread (catching up with three days of posts!)
so I'm not sure this will help but ...

The common way to change permissions on a file (or folder) is to click once
to select it and then do a Get Info (Cmd>i). Only I'm not sure that's the
type of "permissions" that were meant here. Someone else will have to
comment on this.

Also, while I doubt it will help, use Apple's Disk Utility and run Repair
Disk Permissions. Worth a try.

Further update: I just tried to do the uninstall/reinstall again, and this
time it worked. The uninstaller deleted all the apps and prefs and
everything else, and I reinstalled and updates successfully. Just tried
doing some typing in Word, working on a document, saved it, closed the app,
restarted, and back comes the "Recovered Files" folder, with "Word Work File
x_x" files in it. So the reinstall did not work.

Which takes us back to changing the permissions for the Temporary Items
folder. Someone figure out how to do this. Is it possible that I need to
install Office from the root user?

OK, just to be clear, for me, the only stuff I am getting in the trash is
the "Word Work File x_x" file, for the most part.

So I just tried doing the Uninstall of Office. Here's what happened: I ran
the app, clicked through the dialogues to delete everything, and then when I
restarted the Office suite was still there, even though the uninstaller had
deleted basically all of the preference files (at least based on the
contents of my Trash). Curious. I wonder if this could be related.

But hopeful, I started running Word again, without doing the full reinstall
that John recommended (how could I?). I did some work and sure enough on my
next restart the "Recovered Files" folder showed up again. Sigh.
