Is it safe to delete the .dmp files in the program directory?
I found a big enough .dmp file in my Firefox installation directory:
c:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\core.20130617.XXXXXX.XXXXX.XXXX.dmp
It seems that the main file is labeled with a date stamp; the "X" are other digital numbers by hiding I am those out because I'm not sure they're relevant. Is it safe to remove this? Note that this file does not appear in topic: down.
Delete it and restart the computer, make sure that firefox is not open as windows usually makes those when you get BSOD.

I was do a cleaning on my system and find files and temporary folders in all directions. I was wondering if it is safe to delete the files from the System 32 > DriverStore > Temp folder.
Thank you

Nothing in the Windows or Program Files and files their subfolders should be left alone. You won't earn a significant amount of disk space, and you may cause to yourself untold trouble sleeping herein. Use instead the provided Windows Disk Cleanup. You can get to it by clicking on start-> computer, then click on the C: drive and click Properties. On the general tab, you will see disk cleanup. Use it and you will be safe (and not sorry). Everything you personally placed on the computer can always be removed of course as long as you do not try to remove installed manually the software (use the programs and features in the control panel for this).
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Is it safe to delete the log file in/private/var/log/vnetlib?
[Fusion 4.1.2 / Lion 10.7.4]
My vnetlib log file is greater than 22 MB in size and has > K 250 lines of entries dating back to September 2011. Is it safe to delete this log file? A planning at startup, remove the file and then do a restart immediately after to restart VMWare network components - and we hope to recreate a new empty file. I tried erasing the contents of the file via the Terminal but do not have sufficient permissions, even with sudo - guess it was because the VMWare networking processes running at the time.
Thank you
John
If you do not experience network problems, then it is safe to delete.
I had no problem to remove in a Terminal (while VMware Fusion is running) by using the following command in (although I would recommend VMware Fusion of closing first and it doesn't have to be done in safe mode).
sudo rm -f /var/log/vnetlib
Just curious, what the big problem is why you want to delete, 22 MB is not that big a deal.

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.

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?

Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?
Original title: remove programs
I think I have a virus. I see on my computer a few applications with and installed as of 2004. The computer was purchased in 2007. When I run it in safe mode, it works fine and all applications have a date of 2007 or newer. 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.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
TDSSKiller.exe to tdsskiller.com. If she finds something or not does not mean that you should not
check with the other methods below.
