Removing old assemblies from the GAC and elsewhere

After installing the June 2005 version of the Managed DirectX SDK
and previously uninstalling the old version I still have the older
version assemblies on my hard disk and in the GAC.  When doing an
Add Reference for, say, Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D these old
assemblies still show up in the list, even though using them will
cause problems.

Consequently I wish them gone but am unsure as to how to go about
getting rid of them.  I could just delete the files but don't
know if there are registry settings or other stuff that needs to
be fixed up so I am after the proper way of doing it.

Anyone know?

To remove them from the Add Reference dialog, see how they are added to the
dialog:

To uninstall them, if they are interop assemblies (I don´t know), you should
unregister them before deleting them using:

regasm.exe /unregister myassembly.dll
