  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 file$ $NtUninstallKB2718704?

  There are so many files under the directory of the window.

  I would like to know if it is safe to remove them manually or not.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions :>

  C:\WINDOWS

  $NtUninstallKB2718704$

  $NtUninstallKB2719985$

  If your PC behaves properly, you can remove hidden files fix for Windows backup in WINDOWS folder, whose names begin with $NTUninstallKB. Be aware that once they are removed you will not be able to uninstall the updates they represent. Remove only the $NTUninstallKB files that relate to corrections, not those for applications such as Word, WMP, etc.. In addition, DO NOT DELETE THE folder$ $hf_mig.

  Just in case you need it, copy the files on a CD/DVD to enable their restoration if a correction needs to be uninstalled later. Now delete the folder \WINDOWS, but leaves the orphan entries to add / remove programs intact.

• Delete the files under C:\Users\MyAccount\CS6 Master Collection\Adobe CS6

  After installation, I was left with a ton of files under C:\Users\Nathan\CS6 Master Collection\Adobe CS6 - 8.3 GB.

  These files are really needed? They seem to be mostly from the installation files. I can remove them right after the installation?

  Hi Nathan,

  The default location for the installation of the software is the folder program files and the default location for the extracted files is the desktop where the installation is launched. You could have chosen the folder above for extraction.

  If you have already installed the software, you can go ahead and delete this folder.

• Am I safe to delete the files marked as $NtUninsta in Windows NT?

  For your specific questions, visit http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm

  However...

  There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can use an external hard drive, but if it is used to store the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on an external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

  • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
  • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
  • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
  • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
  • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)

  But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

  In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location.  You can not simply move the files.

• Is it safe to delete the files associated with an event

  Original title: registry files

  I use Windows 7 on a computer hp laptop 64 bit. If I type cc in the search box, I get 4 references for example cc 20140111 222014 in a list of the files in the registry. I guess that the 20140111 refers to an event that took place on 11 January this year and the other 6 digits are a point of Ref file. Can someone tell me what they are and if they can be removed safely. If so, how. I ask because at that time, I had a series of infections and wonder if they are leftovers from the problems. I have also another file that cannot open the windows and I have no idea what it can be. It has a cccOfa1b9f86f reference & b3. What is - this and it has no connection with the others. If so, it should be removed and if so, how. I'm a bit worried as to whether anything can either have been "planted" in my systems although I ran the Scanner from Microsoft and its found nothing.

  CC seems a strange thing to get, probably, there was a reason?

  Perhaps, you should also analyze with this utility free http://www.malwarebytes.org/free/

  In C:\Documents&Settings\username\, there is a hidden folder named Local Settings, and to whom a Temp folder with many files. It is safe to delete these files?

  Yes.  In fact, if you are using disk cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr.exe > OK) it will delete all files in this directory that have been consulted at least 7 days ago.

  You can go directly to this folder by typing the folder in the start menu > run box and click OK.
