Is it safe to delete things in Appdata?
About a year ago I accidentally installed Uniblue Registry Booster 2010, and I ran it once or two, before it was not malwarebytes. (I was a beginner, don't blame me.)
After I discovered that it was not Malwarebytes, I removed it by using Add/Remove Programs,
But I found a with inside registry booster UniBlue in Appdata file, not the. EXE, but the file, inside was,
Historical backups Error.txt Last_Scan.dat c:\settings.dat _Temp,
I put in the Recycle Bin and permanently deleted, it affect my computer somehow?
PS. don't reply by saying how registry boosters are bad and they are snake oil, I know, it was a mistake on my part.
As far as I know, it shouldn't be a problem. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

Safe to delete files...
I just uninstall most of my programs Adobe CS6 because I installed CC versions of them. I noticed in ""C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe " there are a LOT of files for the uninstalled programs still drag." It is safe to delete these because they take on 2gigs of space?
Hi Syrax12,
The most recommended to uninstall Adobe products is to use the cleaning tool:- http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
The second way to uninstall is by following the instructions in uninstalling upper air & features in Control Panel.
These two steps are the most recommended to uninstall. Incase you want to remove the folders to the location mentioned above, it will be safe to bring them uninstalled or removed by an expert of
Adobe. The expert will be able to guide properly.
Kind regards

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?

Is it safe to delete old Update Service installers?
Hello
Is it safe to delete the contents of the C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\Update Service\Installers? My PC has 7 GB of these files from 5 updates, and I want to delete them.
The software NOR must it always these installers for nothing?
Thank you!
This folder currently holds downloads from the Update Service OR, if you go to file > Preferences you can see the folder where it stores its files (setting for another drive that is ideal to save space on the SSD drives).
Removal of thesse installers often can be a problem if you build installers for your applications and it wants to include hotfixes with the packages that you select. Patches are often released after shipments of disk so you can't just point to those media.
Otherwise, they are just the installation files and have zero effect on the use of your software from day to day.

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
