• Removal of the old update files

  I moved from Vista to Windows 7 (downloaded myself).  I am concerned about all the old backup files I have on my computer.  How can I determine what I have and how to remove them.  I did a deletion of hotfix files Backup on my XP, such as recommended by someone in this forum, and it worked.  Should I delete the old files of backup for Vista and Windows 7?

  Thank you.  Pat patricia Bern Bern

• The 11g using uninstall tool to remove the old binary files?

  Hi all
  
  I know that with 11g, the preferred method for deleting old binary files is to use the uninstall tool (in/deinstall/of-install $11G_HOME). However, is it possible for me to remove the old binary files using this tool?
  
  For example, my 11g ORACLE_HOME (that is to say that I want to keep and use) is /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db
  
  And I have the following binary files on a particular database server:
  
  Oracle@myserver:/opt/Oracle/product > ls
  
  10.2 11.1 8.1.6.2 8.1.7.1 8.1.7.4 9.0.1.0 9.2.0.2 9.2.0.5 agent
  10.2.0.3 11.2.0.3 8.1.7.0 8.1.7.3 8.1.7.4.32 9.0.1.1 9.2.0.4 9.2.0.6
  
  As you can see, I have binary files dating back to before the beginning of time (8.1.6, nice) and I wish I could clean it carefully.
  
  I tried to uninstall (just under the checkonly, to ensure that it "sees" the old house) 10.2 binaries using the 11 g uninstall tool and got the following error:
  
  /opt/Oracle/product/11.2.0.3/DB/deinstall/deinstall-Accueil /opt/oracle/product/10.2/db - checkonly
  Verification of the required files must be treated and...
  Please wait...
  
  ERROR:-House does not have to be defined for a deinstall linking in an ORACLE_HOME.
  Uninstalling the current House is supposed to.
  
  Any thoughts? I absolutely don't want to uninstall the current home!
  
  Mark

  If you want to get rid of the old the ORACLE_HOME, then you must use the corresponding version of uninstall and must be run from the ORACLE_HOME.

  The best way to remove the ORACLE_HOME is to deattaching the old ORACLE_HOME with inventroy and remove this old House.

• How to remove the old context files after upgrade to R12.1.1

  Hello
  
  I upgraded 11.5.9 (DB 9.2.0.4) to 12.1.1 (DB 11.2.0.2).
  
  In the application manager under automatic configuration menu, I noticed that I have 4 files of context: 2 DB level and 2 for the Application Tier. Two of them are apparently old 11i system. How can delete them so I have two listed on this page. I have to add custom settings. When I tried to do it wrong by saying 'Customization is not permitted on the different versions of the configuration files.'.
  
  Thank you
  Sinan

  Make sure that none of the old context files are available on the servers (delete), make sure also that you have entered right in the FND_NODES table.

  For the error you get, please see these documents.

  Create a custom setting does not work - customization is not allowed on the different Versions of the Configuration [762590.1 ID] files

• Threats of virus after a clean install... where is the 'old machine' file?

  My PC has a virus; My anti virus would not repair it... After doing a clean install of Windows XP, I remember reading that I can delete a file named 'old machine' if the new installation worked. I installed Microsoft Security Essentials... For 3 days, everything worked was great until this evening...

  Tonight, I ran an update of virus definitions and then run the 'full' scan Microsoft Security Essentials has notified me that I had a few threats. There was also a warning on a temporary file and asked if I wanted to send it to Microsoft I did...
  I am trying to be proactive and prevention viruses take over this machine again... I remembered reading after installation 'own' that I should remove the file 'old Machine' if the computer works well after the clean install? .. .also had a warning on a temporary file.
  Any idea where I can find the 'old machine' file; (I thought the clean install would remove all)... I did a search on my computer and come with nothing
  Help, please!...

  Hello

  Step 1: You can remove it in c:/Windows. With the help of old cleaning disc.

  In the disk cleanup, select the previous installation of windows. Put a check mark to remove it.

  Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

• Delete the old log files from IDS4210

  Is it possible to delete the old files of the IDM event log? If this is not the case, what is the best way to remove them.

  Thank you

  Maged

  By default, the old log files are deleted automatically because the system fills the disk and the file age.

  You can manually "clean" by using the following procedure:

  Sign in as netrangr and cd in the/usr/nr/var directory.

  Run idsstop

  dump/usr/bin/RM-f / * errors / * iplog / * iplog/news / * iplog/dumpster / * new / * log.* erreur.*

  Two points:

  1. If you want to delete some installed programs, do not make
  deletion of the folder they are in. That doesn't remove them only partially and
  can cause problems. Remove programs by in control
  Configuration/program Panel and features.

  2. a drive of 74 GB is a tiny disk these days. There are a number of
  things you can do to save space, but they are all basically
  temporary and you will soon find yourself in the same situation.
  The only real solution is to buy and install a larger capacity drive.
  Fortunately, they are very cheap these days; You can buy a 500GB
  drive for about US $65.

• How to re - install XP Pro without keeping any of the old programs?

  I recently did a re-install XP Pro and all the old programs do not have are deleted. I care about her like new with nothing on it but the program XP. What did I miss? I followed word for Word the installation menu.

  Lol IE7 has noting to do a clean install.

  Are you sure that you boot from the disc.
  How do you start the Windows XP installation. First start XP and go inside the computer and click the CD drive icon.
  Are you sure that you format the HARD drive when it offers you the possibility to do? Cause if during installation you have not selected the option that shows the drive using NTFS Format, then all programs will always be there and will continue to occupy a lot of space on the hard disk.

• How Win764() will not work if I install programs elsewhere other than the default Program Files folders?

  The reason for this question is that I want both 1.) Learn more about Win7 64 bit works, as well as 2.) understand the scope of customization possible.

  In any case, first of all, what this scenario: what happens if I create a subfolder in each of the two Program Files folders? Say, in the (x 86) program, I create a subfolder called Programs (x 86). Or another name, whatever and say that I do the same thing for the Program Files folder. So, what happens if instead of installing all my software back into the default directory Program Files or program (x 86), what happens if I start to install in these subdirectories to the place?

  Everything works fine? I heard that these two Program Files folders have assignments to special access for security reasons. As I start working on these issues, the same security structure would be preserved, correct? Second, everything will work correctly not only wise, but in terms of features? I know that each of the Program Files folders also has its own common files folder. If I make my method, installed programs to put their files in the Common Files folder correctly, and then get back them properly when necessary?

  Finally, I would also like to know out of curiosity, what would happen if I don't use the program files directories at all and instead started to install things in a completely different directory. But that is less an issue for me at the moment. I just want to know if what I have set out above would be good or not.

  Thank you!

  Hi StormRyder

  This issue is beyond the scope of these level consumer forums.

  I would recommend that you post on the Technet ITPro Windows 7 forumsfollow-up questions. Advanced on these forums users are more familiar with these types of settings, and may explain some of the common pitfalls you may encounter, as well as how to be ready in case something goes wrong.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7

• Trojan found in the InDesign program file

  My internet security software has identified a Trojan program in one of the InDesign program files.

  The Trojan is 'Packed.Win32.Katusha.e '.

  The Trojan horse was found in C\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Indesign CS5.5\icuin36.dll

  What should I do?

  Almost certainly a false positive, but check the file properties.  The play will be copyright 2005 International Business Machines, version 3.6.0.0 and 946KO.

• I have creative suite cs5.5 and I just cc. When I try to open a photoshop file, it goes to the old program cs5.5 and not the other. Can I remove old programs from my computer?

  What I my old creavite t cs5.5 dleete or keep it since I got the new cc? Looks like he still wants to open in the former programs.

  You may change the default application assigned to open files to point to the new.  How you do that depends on what operating system you have. If you use Google, you should be able to know how to change the default programs for different files.

• Can I remove the old update files that have already been applied?

  Depends on the operating system - Windows

  Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

  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.

  Cleaning after installation of SP2

  XP SP3: Post Installation Cleanup
  http://aumha.NET/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=33827

  For Vista and Windows 7

  The update uninstall method in Windows Vista is quite different from that in Windows XP.

  Uninstaller for each update folder no longer exists in Vista and the uninstall information is stored by the Volume Shadow Copy service.

  After each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files.

  So with Vista, it's a differential backup, rather than a full backup files for uninstall
  in Windows XP.

  This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

  So basically, you are unable to manually delete the uninstall it from the computer.

• How to remove the old compressed files? I have over 200,000.

  After being run-up disk cleanup, I show more than 200,000 old compressed files.  How can I remove them?

  You delete a file compressed just the way that you remove any other file, BUT...

  You can't really delete these 'compressed old files.  By default, in Windows XP Disk Cleanup tool will compress files that have not been used for 50 days.  Well, you can keep the files to which you have not accessed in the past two months.

  You can change the disk cleanup period is used to determine if a file is 'old'--> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/make-disk-cleanup-compress-olderor-newer-files-on-xp/

  However, many people (including me) just disable the analysis of "old files" because it is run much faster disk cleanup: see, for example,--> http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?49060-Disable-Compress-Old-Files-in-Disk-cleanup or http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm straight line 48 (notice that there are two links, one to turn off "compress old files" and the other for him re - allow to) those reg files also change how Disk Cleanup deals by default temporary files - temporary files accessed during the 7 days are not deleted; the first files reg Kelly happening in 0 days and the file "undo" restores the default value of 7 days).
