• Can I safely delete the "Old files Firefox" file from my laptop?

  within this file is this one: 7tmo2rs4.default

  It contains a lot of files, including sqlites

  Hi fourtwojaw, the old data of Firefox folder is created or updated when you use Refresh in Firefox. The semi-randomly-named folder inside contains your old settings, which some have been preserved in the refresh (such as bookmarks) and some are only in this folder. If you have not noticed something important missing, you can remove the folder, but I suggest allowing a few weeks because you will not notice the loss immediately.

• Can I safely delete these old files related to Firefox?

  While addressing a problem last week, I came across the following files in my computer:

  nsSessionStore.js C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\components\ 72 KB 2007-08-16 04:07: 44
  C:\Program Files\PortFirefox\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\components\ 72 KB 2007-07-26 12:09 nsSessionStore.js: 20

  I did find out a little more and found that Netscape Navigator is still installed on this system! Should I uninstall it? I don't remember using it for centuries and I doubt it's something special that Firefox can not do now.

  There is no installed program called Port Firefox, just a big file (about 32 Meg) - of the date of creation (8 September 2007) and the date of last change (October 23, 2010), I'm pretty sure that this record has been left by the computer technician who brought my system. Can I go ahead and just delete the folder?

  Finally, there is another folder in Program Files, which looks like it has the same dates, and even once, does not seem to be related to any installed program. -This one is called Radio@NetscapePlus.
  Yet once, just delete the folder?

  I'm a bit of a mission to get all the stuff obsolete and unused out of my system so I would really like to know what to do about these files.

  Thank you, KK.

  None of these 'files' are associated with your installation of Firefox 32 at all!

  Yes, uninstall Netscape 9 - there has been a lot more features that Firefox has, it was a 'Suite' of internet programs much like SeaMonkey is now. You won't miss what you have not used for many years.
  Make sure that you remove all files that could be left behind, too. Delete the Radio@NetscapePlus file, also.

  PortableFirefox is not actually 'install', there is no registry key as with the official version of Firefox. If you delete all the folder Program Files Portable will be gone and will not be an official impact your Firefox installation.

• Can I safely delete staging tables after the migration?

  I followed this link and finished migration from SQL Server to Oracle.
  http://www.Oracle.com/technology/OBE/hol08/sqldev_migration/MSSQLServer/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
  
  Now, I have a user "mwrep" and "mwrep_orcl" connection When I develop in this regard, I noticed that there are a lot of tables with name starting with "MD". In addition to those, there are some starting with "Outphasing".
  
  Given that the imported tables are schema 'mwrep' and I want to continue to use that user as my user development. Can I remove these tables that I mentioned above? Thank you!

  MD_ tables that you see are part of the migration repository. Migration repository is used for capturing migration related third party processing database meta information. Once you are convinced that the migration has completed successfully, you can use the command "Delete repository Migration" to get rid of the migration repository tables. You can do a right click on the oracle connection that actually hosts the repository and choose the menu 'Remove the Migration repository' get rid the repository tables. In a nutshell, the answer is Yes, you can delete the migration repository and the objects associated with them have a negative impact on the migrated objects db and the clean is to do it by selecting the menu item "delete the Migration repository.

• delete windows.old

  I upgraded Windows 10 on my Jet 7 HP. However, now drive C is dangerously low on space. I tried to delete Windows.old, but many items require authorization of the system to do. I'm the administrator, the file seems to be configured to allow me, administrator and full access to the system, but I can't delete this folder. Y at - it something to remove it?

  Hello:

  Yes, there is.

  Run the disk cleanup utility.

  Once you get to the disk cleanup window, click the button files cleaning system on the lower left side of the window.

  The utility will run again and display the same window, but now you will be able to check the box of files from a previous Installation of Windows (as well as the other boxes to check), and you will then be able to get rid of the Window.old file.

  Note: If you do this, you will not be able to easily return to the previous operating system, so make sure you W10 works right in all respects before you delete the Windows.old folder.

• Windows 7 - cannot delete Windows.old

  Windows 7 has created a Windows.old folder using Windows Easy Transfer and a massive file that was supposed to pass, among other things, e-mail data and accounts.  Windows 7 has none of them.  But now it throws an error telling me that I must be the administrator to delete.

  I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR.

  I did the thing to click left and changed security on the file which saw the problem.  I am sure that administrator had full possession on the file.

  I do not understand why a deletion should take five minutes, but I delete Windows.old again.  This time, Windows 7 threw an error telling me that I had to be the SYSTEM to remove it.  Even if I did not I a user of the SYSTEM, I added permission for SYSTEM to own the file and delete it.  Still no change cannot delete the file.

  Cannot delete the file, cannot move the file outlook.pst Windows Easy Transfer failed that there is not enough room.  Cannot move that the outlook.pst file impossible to configure Outlook to get my emails.

  Why Windows 7 has so many flaws?  It's like a child designed, programmed and it was approved for distribution.

  I'm off to find a third-party tool to remove the file, unless someone has a practical suggestion.  No speculation please.  No Microsoft Apologetics please.   I have been the problems of Windows 7 for more than a week.

  Not sure, but have you tried it - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder (I must admit, sort of a sorry official - guess)

  If all goes well, it can work.

  I tend to the agreement, but its strange how what should be quite a simple operation (s) seem to have 'questions' quite so often.

  Please do not respond with standard article which sends you to the disk cleanup utility. There is an article somewhere that answers this question and I can't find any. I know there are 3 commands from command line I just write, I don't remember them.
