    Yes, updates can be deleted, but you shouldn't remove updates because they are there for various reasons such as keeping your computer up to date, secure and faster.

    Please see this article I wrote on how to free up disk space and speed up your system.

    I'm sure that there are some old system restore points you can delete to get a lot of disk space.

  • Add and remove updates

    can I remove updates add remove programs, such as Java, Microsoft?

    curtPbdy,
    Yes Microsoft updates can be removed from the Add/Remove Programs, but they must be removed properly or could cause problems.  If the updates from other programs are not the list in the Add/Remove Programs list, you will need to check with the manufacturer of program deletion of updates.

    Usually, the update of modules memory is not very difficult but a little trickier.
    A common user should be able to upgrade memory but please don t use force but be always gently and attention!

    Check it ;)

    But note; If you have no experience and don't know how to do this contact a technician for help. In this case, you are always on the right side

    LiveUpdate install updates for your Symantec/Norton application only.

    Don't worry what you see in the installed updates or unable to uninstall the 3 updates, simply 'hide' and move.

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
    Double-click automatic updates > click stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    2 remove the contents of the download folder:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator >
    (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
    Open the download folder and delete its content
    Close the window.

    3 start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update |  View the updates available (or Select the updates installed): right-click on KB976325 KB973917 and KB974318, in turn. Click hide update | Confirm the prompt UAC (User Account Control), if any, & OK your way out.

    4. start the automatic updates service:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
    Double-click automatic updates > click Start

Click restore. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.

    I was in my Add/Remove programs and I see updates 3 years back for windows and microsoft and they take place, so I would like to know if it is safe to delete all of these updates from my computer. If they are updates would be the most ancient not be updated to a newer version. I was told not to ever take off, but they fill the computer then why we have to keep?
