Entourage gone, but still working!

I thought I had deleted Entourage, but it still keeps generating a
link in iCal. When I do a search via Spotlight to find orphaned
items, it allows me to delete folders and files but they keep re-
generating, including the peskly Entourage link in iCal. How can I
completely "scrub" Entourage from my mac? Thanks for any help you can
provide! - Greg

Entourage stored the data for Spotlight in this location:

~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Microsoft/Entourage/.

That's where Entourage places files for indexing. Delete this file and you
should no longer see them in Spotlight searches.

Depending on how you removed Entourage or Office, look for this file and
delete it if you are still experiencing roblems.

Microsoft Entourage.mdimporter found in either

System/Library/Spotlight

or

~/Library/Spotlight
