Howdy,

By the way, only do the first part. DO NOT remove the TeX Distribution Data Structure or Ghostscript since those are used by the the TeX Live 2014 installed by MacTeX.

By the way. Also start up TeX Live Utility and update all the packages that have been updated since the release.

Good Luck,
