• Is it ok to remove the old Windows updates as I have many of them take a lot of disk space?

  I have several updates of microsoft for a few years. I am auto update, but all the old updates are still there. Is it necessary to keep or to delete to free up space. I get warnings that the computer is low on virtual memory.

  original title: is it OK to remove the old windows updates as I have many of them taking place?

  Virtual memory is used only when your physical memory has been exhausted.  This happens usually either when you have not restarted recently, or when you have too many programs running at the same time.  I suggest you reboot at least once a week and if it continues to happen, a purchase more RAM.

  This isn't for Vista - after each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files. With Vista, is a differential backup, rather than a full backup and uninstalling files in Windows XP.  This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

• How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

  Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

  I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

  I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

  How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

  It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

  I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

  I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

  Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

  I look forward to your reply.

• Remove the old disk

  I had a crash disk due to wildly waving 8 year old and I got on a new drive, but that is still hanging out in my catalog. Rename the new identical to the old location isn't practical, so I need to completely remove the old one. Is there a way to tell Lightroom to completely remove a disk from the database? Something like the rm command?

  I use Lightroom 5.7 on OSX 10.11.5.

  ... so I need to completely remove the old one. Is there a way to tell Lightroom to completely remove a disk from the database?

  No, what you want to do is to point Lightroom on the new disk.

  In Lightroom, right click on the top-level (Parent) of your photos on the old drive folder, select find missing files and then in the dialog box that appears, select the top-level (Parent) of the new disk folder. More details are in this document (in particular, see Figure 4 and related text) Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

• The 11g using uninstall tool to remove the old binary files?

  Hi all
  
  I know that with 11g, the preferred method for deleting old binary files is to use the uninstall tool (in/deinstall/of-install $11G_HOME). However, is it possible for me to remove the old binary files using this tool?
  
  For example, my 11g ORACLE_HOME (that is to say that I want to keep and use) is /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db
  
  And I have the following binary files on a particular database server:
  
  Oracle@myserver:/opt/Oracle/product > ls
  
  10.2 11.1 8.1.6.2 8.1.7.1 8.1.7.4 9.0.1.0 9.2.0.2 9.2.0.5 agent
  10.2.0.3 11.2.0.3 8.1.7.0 8.1.7.3 8.1.7.4.32 9.0.1.1 9.2.0.4 9.2.0.6
  
  As you can see, I have binary files dating back to before the beginning of time (8.1.6, nice) and I wish I could clean it carefully.
  
  I tried to uninstall (just under the checkonly, to ensure that it "sees" the old house) 10.2 binaries using the 11 g uninstall tool and got the following error:
  
  /opt/Oracle/product/11.2.0.3/DB/deinstall/deinstall-Accueil /opt/oracle/product/10.2/db - checkonly
  Verification of the required files must be treated and...
  Please wait...

  If you want to get rid of the old the ORACLE_HOME, then you must use the corresponding version of uninstall and must be run from the ORACLE_HOME.

  The best way to remove the ORACLE_HOME is to deattaching the old ORACLE_HOME with inventroy and remove this old House.

• Mozilla was crashing every few seconds and I could not install the update. I removed the old to install the new and now I can not install - receive error messages that close.

  Hi, Malcolm

  For this model of laptop, it is quite complicated because the STRANGE is from both sides. First you must remove the small screw placed in the Middle near the coverage of memory in the lower corner of your laptop (also near the cooling rack). The STRANGE is also secured with small hook placed under the keyboard.

  At the right place of this small hook is not known but I know that it is placed somewhere under the keyboard. I don't really know what you need to do. Have you already tried to remove the keyboard?

  I have to be honest and it's not so easy to give instructions here because I don't know if you're familiar with the disassembly. I don't want damage you something on your laptop. Small error can ends with a broken plastic cover. Please be careful.
