I used this article [1] to remove parallels from my Mac OS X 10.5 machine.
[1] http://kb.parallels.com/en/4709
Basically reload the .DMG used to install it. and run the remove app.
it also recommend removing these files manually (all of them were automatically deleted for me)
cd /Library/StartupItems/
sudo rm -rf Parallels
cd /Applications
sudo rm -rf Parallels
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo rm -rf vmmain.kext
sudo rm -rf hypervisor.kext
sudo rm -rf Pvsvnic.kext
sudo rm -rf ConnectUSB.kext
sudo rm -rf Pvsnet.kext
NB: Remember SUDO will only work on Leopard OS X 10.5 when you have a password set.
Also I had some virtual machines that were very large in:
~/Documents/Parallels
and there was a shared folder created at:
/Users/Shared/Parallels
I deleted those 2 extra folders.
