Before you go Mac-bashing, I've had this same problem on my PC, too. How do you totally uninstall your GE Shortcuts outside of the GE client?

GE Plus was working fine for a while on my MacBook Pro w/ intel chip. At some point, I imported my old set of KMLS and began trying some out. Now the program freezes-up the entire computer when it opens. And I mean a lock-up so hard that I have to reset w/ the 6-second power button... the last resort.

So I want to uninstall all those shortcuts, 'cause I'm fairly sure it's one of those that I musta checked to load that is suddenly killing things. But uninstalling the program and then reinstalling it doesn't wipe your KMLS. Where are they and how do I wipe them? I've searched for the file extensions after an uninstall only to find a couple of 12 kb My Google File.kml, the deletion of which doesn't help.

look for "myplaces.kml"
It schould be in "/Users/'username'/Library/Application Support/Google Earth/myplaces.kml"
