I read about a couple of people trying to uninstall Netscape 6, on this list 
and ran across the following information on the Netscape website by chance.  
I thought you all could use it.

Uninstalling Netscape 6

LINUX

Remove the /package directory where you installed Netscape 6
Remove the ~/.mozilla directory, which contains profile information

WINDOWS

JavaSoft and Net2Phone have their own Uninstallers. To uninstall them:

Open the Start menu, choose Settings, then choose Control Panel.
Double click Add/Remove Programs.
Click the Install/Uninstall tab.
Click either:
Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3
Net2Phone/Net2Fax
Click the Add/Remove button.
To uninstall the other Netscape 6 files:

Remove the Netscape 6 folder (in the Netscape folder inside the Program 
Files folder)
Delete mozver.dat (in the Windows folder)
Delete mozregistry.dat (in the Windows folder)
Personal Security Manager is used for both Communicator 4.7 and Netscape 6. 
Remove the Security file (in Program Files\Common Files\Netscape Shared\) 
only if Personal Security Manager was not installed for Communicator 4.7. If 
you're not sure, it is safer to not remove this folder.

(Aadvanced) These Windows registry keys created during installation can be 
deleted from the Windows registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Netscape\Netscape 6
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Netscape\Persona Security Manager
These Windows registry keys are currently used by the installer only (not by 
Navigator). They will cause no harm if left in the Windows registry.

MAC OS

Remove the folder where you installed Netscape 6 (probably "Netscape 
folder").
Remove the the Mozilla folder in the Documents folder
Remove the file "Mozilla Registry" in the Preferences folder, which is 
inside the System Folder
Remove the folder where you installed Netscape 6 (probably "Netscape 
Folder")
