can I remove the previous updates of microsoft for storage space?

I have deleted many programs and I always get low memory warnings, can I remove old Microsoft Updates which have been updated many times over?

Updates do not have a lot of 'memory' that they do not hard drive space.  If you get low memory, it is because the physical memory installed in too low.

If you give us your system specs, we can give you more information.

    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 Adobe Updater menu bar icon? It is pixelated and looks broken. Any help is appreciated.

    1. in Photoshop, select help > updates:

    2. click on 'Preferences' in the lower-right.

    3. uncheck the "Notify me of new updates on the menu bar". Then click on 'Ok '.

  • Satellite A660-k17: can I remove the two primary partitions used for restoration?

    Hello
    I have 3 questions :) #.

    1. I burned a copy dvd recovery media, on a laptop A660 k17. There are two partitions on the disk that I think are there for the recovery. The first is 1.46 GB and it's for the recovery and another partition hidden 8.29 GB... and I think that the first contains the Recovery Wizard and the whole environment in which we will get through the repair of the system and the hidden disk contains the actuall with windows data, drivers and so on. Can I remove these two? I ask mainly on the first, if it is not necessary for the system to boot or something after that I have to recover the laptop to the factory setting.

    2 and I also want to leave my partitions so that I don't have to partition the whole drive from C 600 GB again. I have a D drive created but there is this response to a topic already in the forum http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64754&tstart=90
    who says that when I leave the partitions I created myself, that the recovery will be not available. I have a copy on dvd, but only to make sure no kidding something upward.

    3. when I want a clean system without some software which are preloaded on the oem recovery disk... I have to use windows recovery? or it will be the same as the toshiba one?
    Thanks for the reply possible :)
    Beautiful day :)

    > Can I remove the two primary partitions used for restoration?
    First not, but you can remove the Toshiba recovery partition if you created the recovery DVDs. One day, if you want to install the recovery image once again you can use created the recovery disc.

  • Can I remove the old update files that have already been applied?

    Good evening! I just a quick may be a dumb question... when I've updated my computer, if I remove the before update... like when a service pack number, as for example I downloaded the number of service pack 2 What do I do with the number of the service pack 1? delete it?

    Depends on the operating system - Windows

    Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

    Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

    Don't NOT delete the folder $ $hf_mig

    For Vista and Windows 7

    The update uninstall method in Windows Vista is quite different from that in Windows XP.

    Uninstaller for each update folder no longer exists in Vista and the uninstall information is stored by the Volume Shadow Copy service.

    After each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files.

    So with Vista, it's a differential backup, rather than a full backup files for uninstall
    in Windows XP.

    This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

    So basically, you are unable to manually delete the uninstall it from the computer.

  • How can I get the previous update back?

    This new update absolutely sucks. No single click to get the bookmarks bar. No button reload of the toolbar. Can't add empty spaces in the toolbar. A huge step backwards.

    Bridger,

    In restaurateur for the classic theme options, check the box "hide obtained reload button. This will remove the button reload tiny and annoying to the address bar and you can add an appropriate size reload button to the left the same way, you move around buttons using firefox customize function.

  • How can I remove the grey stars in scoring for iTunes 12.3.3.17?

    Hey there. I've recently updated 12.3.3.17 on my Macbook and in previous iterations, I was able to remove the gray stars in the roundabout way ranking column (with 'Art Show' visible and the edition of the album of note, having 'Album Rating' "visible and edit there, etc.", but now it won't let me change the rating?)

    Does anyone know how to solve this problem this time?

    I can't believe that it is still a problem after all this time.

    Thank you

    This method always works for me. You delete these ratings in a view that displays all the tracks in the album?

  • How can I remove the previous version of Windows Vista?

    I have the latest version of Firefox on the PC.  I have the 10.1.4.38 installed Player Version.  I see on my plug-ins told me that "Version 9.5.1 and less has been blocked for your protection."  Which would mean that there is a previous version of the player installed or maybe partially installed still?  How would I check this?  I can send screenshots to help you to diagnose the problem if possible.

    I suggest that you

    1. uninstall all versions of reader using cleaning tools http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    2. Reinstall the drive 10.1.4
    3. 10.1.13 drive update
  • When is it safe to remove the old updates and patches recover disk space?

    I have a LONG list of updates from windows to windows xp, Media Player, microsoft, etc. in a way at the time where I got first computer and set on automatic updates. I'm sure that they consume valuable disk space but how do I know which ones can be deleted without problem?

    Never. If you remove them, it defeats the purpose of the patch/security updates. Your calculation returns to a previous state vulnerable.

    If you need space, get an external hard drive for all of your data.
