AdobePatchFiles .zip archives safe to delete?

I have about 4 GB of AdobePatchFiles on my hard drive, some .zip, some unpacking. My drive OS/app is a small space SSD is at a premium and I can't afford this kind of space lost - which is almost twice the size of After Effects installed. I'm not able to upgrade the SSD at least a few months, he must get this sort. Advice?

  • / var/log - safe to delete files

    Hi all

    On 1 of my hosts ESX file/var/log has grown to the point its me cause problems creating VM etc... look at the files in this folder are large size particularly sercure.1 and secure.2 (more than 200 MB) my question is, is - it safe to delete these files? I have also a lot of vmkernel.* is also safe to empty these files?

    Thank you

    The files that you see with le.1,.2,... extensions are newspapers archived resulting from the rotation of log files. Log files are usually shot based on their size, or when a host or VM is powered. You can remove these log files rotated if you want to free up disk space. I do not recommend you delete the files '.log', because they are usually the current criteria (except for virtual machine logs).

    However, if the log files have this size, there must be a reason for this. I would recommend that you first take a peek in log files to see if there is an issue that must be resolved before you delete.

  • Is it safe to delete the original score after successful cloning?

    I have a Mac mini mid2010. I swapped his optical drive to an SSD. Then I cloned the operating system partition and everything works perfectly. My question is whether it is safe to delete the original "Macintosh HD" that I cloned, or if there is a way to keep its files being accessible if I don't get them mixed up.

    Thank you

    Delete the old folder on the internal drive home page only. I should leave everything alone in case you need to boot from this drive. However, in general, it is safe to reformat the hard drive. But it depends on what you plan to do with it.

  • Is it safe to delete the partition OSXRESERVED? because it is still there after the installation of windows 10

    I recently got a MacBook Pro 15 "2015 model retina running MacOSX 10.11.5 El Capitan.

    My steps for installing Windows 8.1:

    Create a. ISO file from DVD installation disc and save it. ISO on a USB Flash drive.

    run bootcamp and run the. Location of the ISO on the usb flash drive.

    The SSD partition

    and then it reboot and the windows installer is on and I finish installing Windows 8.1

    then the program to install bootcamp drivers intervenes and installs the drivers

    then it restarts and I upgraded towing 10 Windows later and update the bootcamp drivers

    Then I start to Mac OS X, but the OSXRESERVED partition is still there.

    And when I restart by pressing the option key, I see 1 Macintosh HD but 2 displayed Windows disks

    Is it safe to delete the partition OSXRESERVED?  I read online that deleting it will cause 10 Windows do not to start over.

    Or should I leave it alone?

  • Is it safe to delete old Update Service installers?

    Hello

    Is it safe to delete the contents of the C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\Update Service\Installers? My PC has 7 GB of these files from 5 updates, and I want to delete them.

    The software NOR must it always these installers for nothing?

    Thank you!

    This folder currently holds downloads from the Update Service OR, if you go to file > Preferences you can see the folder where it stores its files (setting for another drive that is ideal to save space on the SSD drives).

    Removal of thesse installers often can be a problem if you build installers for your applications and it wants to include hotfixes with the packages that you select. Patches are often released after shipments of disk so you can't just point to those media.

    Otherwise, they are just the installation files and have zero effect on the use of your software from day to day.

  • Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?

    Hello

    This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
    computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
    for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.

    =============================================================

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

  • Could you give me a list of what is safe to delete Windows XP?

    Could you give me a list of what is safe to delete Windows XP?

    This isn't a list of "programs".  This is a list of files and folders which many (more?) are Windows system files that should not be deleted.

    You can Google these names as easily as possible, although some names are completely ambiguous without the rest of the way - for example, _default and configuration could be anything. Panther looks like it is related to your Mac.

    You must uninstall programs ONLY by using the control panel > add / remove software.  Do not delete random files and folders.

    Download and run JDiskReport... and then you can see what's worth worrying in terms of size.
