• How can I delete windows.old folder without losing the hibernation file.

  Mr President.

  I recently refreshed my system and a unwanted windows .old file has been generated and it consumes 11 GB of my disk space. So Iwould like to delete this file but the HP support assistant gave me a warning that I should not remove hibernation and sleep file, otherwise I would lose this facility of my system. Thanks for mentioning the steps I have to do to remove the same.

  Yours faithfully,

  R_rk06

  Hello

  Folder Windows.Old has nothing to do with the Hibernate. If uou wishes, you can remove it using cleaning system, not normal to delete, to explore. The following steps see the way in which:

  1. Open Disk Cleanup by clicking on the button start . In the search box, type and then disk cleanup in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.

     If you are prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.

  2. In the dialog box disk cleanup, on the Disk Cleanup tab, click on clean up system files.

     If you are again prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.

  3. Select the check box Previous Windows installations and the other check boxes for files that you want to remove, and then click OK.

  4. In the message that appears, click on delete files.

• How can I delete an old version of Lightroom? I use Mountain Lion on Mac.

  Hello

  I upgrade to Lightroom 3 to 5 of Lightroom. It was no problem. My photos have been imported into Lightroom 5. But Lightroom 3 was not removed from my computer. How can I remove this old version in the right direction?

  I use Mountain Lion on Mac.

  Thank you

  I'm not a Mac user. But you remove Lightroom just as you would remove any other application from your system. If you purchased Lightroom 5 as an upgrade, it was probably know the serial number of your Lightroom 3. I suggest that you store that Lightroom 3 number somewhere, you will remember because it will be necessary if/when you decide to upgrade to a new version of Lightroom.

  And, just to clarify, there is no interdependence between your Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 3. They are independent applications.

• How can I recover windows.old?

  Two could not reinstall attempts left me with: windows.old, windows.old.001, windows.old.002

  You want to retrieve windows.old only so that I can access the application files and anything that can be saved. I have the original Vista Ultimate disc and a disc of 'F' on the disk. An attempt to copy the file produces only an icon with a 1 KB file.

  Looking for the best way to recover this file on a CD, or possibly a USB and including how to acquire these application data so that they can be seen with the program proper.
