OK to delete the update files?

My son has been deleted many files that seem to be updated to Windows NT.  I put them in the trash.  They are cluttering my space and I was wondering if all that has a name such as $ $nTUninstallB932716-v2 is allowed to delete without problems?  I have Windows Home Edition 2002.  Please respond to * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  • Delete the update files?

    I want to delete the update files to make more room in my C drive, but I don't know what is the result if I did. Is there anyone can tell me? Thanks in advance!

    Hello Alonda,

    Thanks for the response on the answers.microsoft.com forum.

    It seems that you are really wanting to get free space on your hard drive.  Certainly understand this importance.  Did you run a disk cleanup?  Do this by => click Start ORB-> computer-> right click on your drive Local (usu. C :) and select properties-> under a general tab, click Disk Cleanup

    Disk Cleanup will usually present your files can be deleted without reprecussions.  Also, most of the files that you can delete Windows putting updates in question the question about WINSXS, get lodged in this folder.  Here is an article of Nice forum describing the WINSXS file a little more away.

  • Cannot delete the plist file system.

    My Time Machine is not automatically back up my drive. He worked for some time (don't know why) and then stops working automatically. I tried to implement the procedure laid down by Linc Davis, delete the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist, but make the message: 'com.apple.TimeMachine.plist' cannot be changed or deleted because it is required by OS X.  I tried to change the permissions in the file information window to include Administrator Read and Write (only has this permission system. Which translates the message: "the operation cannot be performed because you don't have the necessary authorization."

    Using the terminal window and sudo rm command produces the same message.

    I do a backup manually through the system preferences window, but it shows immediately that a backup disk has not been selected. Next time, I select the backup disk, perform a manual backup. Repeat the next time, I have run a manual backup.

    10.11.1 on new iMac, retina 5 K with 16 GB of memory running. Has made a migration to this previous computer Mac Pro 10.7.5.

    Also the Time Machine backup drive icon backup weather icon to see the Machine. Relaunch the Finder does not fix issue.

    Question: How can I delete the plist file?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    A bug in OS X 10.11.1 prevents automatic backups that happens when a desktop Mac (iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) is connected to a UPS (UPS) with the USB feature.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    First, check the App Store for a later update to OS X. If it is available when you read this review, install it and see if the problem is resolved. I speak not beta versions.

    Otherwise, you can work around the bug as follows.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine RequiresACPower 0

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

    If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

    Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.

    Restart the computer and test.

    original title: he is allowed to delete the previous updates of files

    Hi Carl,

    I suggest you go through this article to Java which can be useful.

    Why should I remove old versions of Java in my system?

    Removal of previous versions of the .net Framework is based on the applications that are running on the computer.

    For applications, if you have an application based on any .NET Framework on the computer, you cannot delete it since you have need to support the application runs correctly.

    .NET framework 3.5 SP1 includes .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2. This means that .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 can not be deleted because they are the sine qua non of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. If you have any application based on .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, please do not remove .NET 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1.

    Yes, you can delete the uninstall files. You lose the ability to uninstall, but if this isn't a problem for you, you can.

    * However * I don't recommend delete. Even if you think they consume a large amount of disk, they actually take very little. If this amount is important to you, you have very little disk space and should consider buying a larger capacity drive or a second drive.

    Can I delete the backups Time Machine of old MacAir and make room on my time Machine 2 TB for Macbook?

    Yes you can.  Your next question may be 'how' to do it.

    Use the Finder to open the disc Time Capsule, named "Data", except if you have renamed the reader

    Here, you will see two files sparsebundle, each bearing the name of Mac, who has been the object of a backup

    Click on the name of the sparsebundle file on behalf of the Mac to highlight the file

    Click the gear just above the window, and then click place in the trash

    He is not coming back, so make sure that you delete the correct file.

    Once the deletion over... it should only take a few minutes... Turn off and restart the time Capsule and you should be all set.

  • Error 13008 - deleting the .itdb files does not help. :(

    I tried to move my directory iTunes of my homedir on the SD card where I keep all my assets and, despite having (as far as I can remember anyway) set up iTunes to stop the analysis of the file homedir first, now, whenever he's trying to start I get the fearsome "unknown error 13008. All threads I've seen on how to solve this say to save and delete the .itdb files in your iTunes folder and then restart iTunes. However, when I do this, iTune recreates (on the SD card, so at least I know that he uses the right place, and that it can write to the card), then crashes with the error 13008. Same thing if I rename the folder iTunes together.

    Any suggestions? I'm on Yosemite. I'd say what version of iTunes, I'm running, but...

    I make little feeling that this has not been done in the best way initially.

    Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/ALT key to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.

  • TDMS-2503 error recovery - delete the index file does not

    My team worked an acquisition of data on some test machines, and I went today to begin the analysis of the data.  It turns out that two of the TDMS files that we generated cannot be opened in Diadem, Excel or use the controls file TDMS Opend in LabVIEW.  I also tried the repair of PDM tool, with the same result.  The test machine has since been demolished, so there is no way to re - run tests.  Is it possible to have the files was looking to see if all the data can be recovered?

    The files were generated with LabVIEW 2013 SP1.  Attemtped to open them in the same version of LabVIEW, and Diadem 2015, and the importer of excel (excel 2010).

    TDMS files are rather large (> 1 GB), but the tdms_index files that were generated with them were 0kB.  Delete the tdms_index files and re - open the TDMS files had no effect.

    A first look into files (using the primitives to open the binary in LabVIEW), the initial section of the appearance of correct files (readable metadata that matches from a work file in a non-working file).

    He seems to have no notable connection between the two files that will not open, nor the differences in the situation of these files for work files.

    Any help would be greaty appreciated.

    TDMS files are written in chuncks.  At the beginning of each chunck belongs to the human readable semi which is data such as channel names and groups, but contains no actual data.  Then follows the binary data.  The index is intended for all semi human readable file and any data.  This should make the reading of the file easier because the file offset and such are in the index file smaller.

    This being said if you have some sections corrupted in your DDHN file you can always get the data out of it.  There is a code floating around that pull each of the segments and find out what is the problem, then all allows you to get all the data before the wrong section.  This thread talking about it, and a short code displayed around page 3.

    My automatic updates did not work: hang on to 2% or some patch downloaded to diagnose the so-called rpoblem difficulty he solved the problem but then said I had to register/reinstall update files; When I go to the microsoft website to reinstall, I can't do that... then I tried to present a report on the relocation failed... and I can't do same! what the * is at my PC, I tried the thing "net stop wuauserv" and who did nothing I tried the regsvr32 MSXML3.dll thing (as well as other dll files) and doing anything please help.

    1. you have completely removed the AVG Free before you've installed MSE (originally).

    2 and should have removed entirely the Norton application (or free-trial) before (the original) that you have installed AVG Free.

    3. only one 1 antivirus should be installed & loading at startup at any given time.

    [Note: McAfee System Scan Plus is installed, load at startup or include no real-time protection.]

    4 yet the computer is still at least ten 10 reviews of security updates missing, one dating from February 2011.

    5. misguided use of registry cleaners may have something to do with all this. [1]

    Given the above (especially #4), my recommendation stands.

  • is it safe to delete the temporary files?

    a game on MSN games froze the screen. The solution I got was to remove & reinstall Java, delete cookies, temp internet files.  I will lose any important data if I delete temporary files?

    Temporary files because they are are temporary and can be deleted safely. Of course, when you remove cookies from Web sites that you visit often preventing login/password information and then you will have to re-enter.

    The only time where it is not recommended to delete the temporary files is when you install a program, and if this program always needs to restart to complete the installation.

    It is rare that any who save their important data in temporary since the temp files folders are always flushed when the user run CCleaner or all files temporary cleaner.

What should I do next? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi, its ok if you ran out of ideas, but I still have to thank you for your help because I learned some new things myself. The only solution I've found to remove my video files .mp4 without having to reboot in safe mode is to use unlocker software to help remove my .mp4 files, so far it has been helpful and has not posed no problem to my computer.  I changed to windows 7 since then, and there have not been problems with the far .mp4 files. Thank you again once, appreciate the help you gave. ^ ^
