Hmmm, interesting.  A few questions for you:

1) both of the directories that you mentioned were there, and you 
successfully removed them both?
2) Can you quote the exact text of the complaint that you mention above?
3) What version of MzScheme had you installed?
4) Could this be a problem which is solved by emptying the trash?

I suspect that this is a problem with the installer; either the 
language of the package maker is not rich enough to express the 
subsumption of MzScheme by DrScheme, or we haven't expressed it right, 
or you have a newer version of MzScheme.

As an aside, I suspect this will be a moot point with the release of 
version 203, which will be out soon.

Let us know if this helps,
