  T saves disk space, I want to delete files progam downloaded all.  Is it safe to delete these files?

  Hello Mdquinn,

  I would give this a download try CCleaner link: http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/?tag=mncol   who is known for his ability to clean up your

  computer better than Windows 'disk cleanup '. In regards to the registry cleaner in CCleaner, unless you have above skills and knowledge of computers

  or the registry, I suggest you do not to use the Registry Cleaner option. If you use it, then always use the backup feature in the steps before you

  clean up the registry in case of computer problems later, so you can restore the registry to its previous state. Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway.

  Make it a great day!

  Karthikeyan Devalla,
  Here are the instructions to remove some of the restore points using disk cleanup.  Your system is configured to record everything automatically on your computer at periodic points so if you need to restore your system files will be there.  But sometimes, you get more restore points that you want or need and he can eat a lot of disk space.  Here's how to control this.

  You can use Disk Cleanup to remove points of restoration and the free space on the hard disk on your computer.

  Disk removes the cleanup all but the last restore point on your computer. In some editions of Windows Vista, restore points can include previous versions of files. Previous versions are also deleted.
   
  1. open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button, tap all programs, accessories, click System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.
   
  2. in the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, click files from all users on this computer.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
   
  3. If prompted, select the drive you want to clean, and then click OK.
   
  4. click the other Options tab.
   
  5. under System Restore and shadow copies, click Clean up, and then, in the confirmation dialog box, click on delete.
   
  6. If you want to continue using disk cleanup for other drives on your computer, click the Disk Cleanup tab. To quit Disk Cleanup, click Cancel.

  Hi Rink59,

  2. what happens when you try to delete the file? You receive messages or error codes?

  You can try to start in safe mode and check if you can delete the file.

  Hope this information is useful.

• A full system restore (while retaining user data) will delete my previous backup files?

  
  

  According to this FAQ:

  http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/12869/~/how-do-i-restore-my-computer-using-the-EREC...

  The second option is to restore the operating system and preserve user data, which is essentially the same process, but the information stored in your user account folder will be saved. Acer always recommends all backup data if you choose to use this option.

  Then C:/backup will be wiped.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Conner,

  Thanks for keeping us posted and share this information with us.

  As Palcouk suggested, you can remove the "Windows.old" folder if you have saved data on the computer.

  It is not possible for the drive to shrink. I would like you to check the amount of space on the hard disk after you remove the Windows.old folder.

  Let us know if you have other questions about Windows in the future. We will be happy to help you.

• Deleting the guest of RMAN RMAN backup files

  DB version: 10.2.0.4
  OPERATING SYSTEM: AIX
  
  Due to space constraints, we had to change our retention policy today. So, I need to manually remove some old backup files to free up space. Should I remove the backup files of the OS by using the rm command and then issue a

  delete expired backup;

  Since the RMAN command prompt?
  
  Or is there another recommended method?

  If you delete them manually from the o/s, then you must perform a BACKUP of OVERLAP before EXPIRATION to DELETE.

  Or once you change your retention policy you can deliver DELETE OBSOLETE, which can be the safest way to make sure that you delete the wrong backup files inadvertently.

• 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.

• How to delete Windows Update backup files

  In Windows XP Pro, whenever an update from windows update has been installed, a backup file was created (example: C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB977816$) is it a similar backup with windows file 7 about the update of windows, and if so, can it be deleted once it is established that the MS security update is successful?  Thank you, Sam.

  http://taurarian.MVPs.org/WU_XP/removing_old_windows_updates.htm

  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.

  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

  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

  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.
