Updates leave the uninstall files behind taking space precious hrd.

I have megabytes of $NtUninstallKB? directories on my hard drive. Can I get rid of remove them? or print out of the disc I do not think I will be uninstalling updates.

Yes, he does.

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.

Don't NOT delete the folder $ $hf_mig

  • Problems - leaving behind (almost all) the uninstall files. [Windows 7 64-Bit]

    Hi all

    I had some real problems with my programs Adobe CC do not update - despite the CC itself program update I received countless errors to U44M1P7. Ultimately I decided that the best practice would be to completely remove everything and start again - so I started on that!

    As a result of what I believe, this is the correct procedure, the first step, I took (after backing up everything that I need of course) had to go to "Programs and features" in the Panel (I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) and go through each Adobe application and uninstall it. So I went through, 1 by 1, uninstall, making sure to select "delete preferences" anywhere where I could. The installers would do their thing and applications disappeared from my program list. I'm left with now is consistent with "Adobe Flash Player 19 Active X", and "Adobe Flash Player Plugin 13" (I don't think they are part of the creative cloud).

    In any case, after you have uninstalled all, I rebooted my system, ready to run the Adobe CC cleaner. On reboot I have communicated that uninstalling programs have made what seems to be almost nothing - almost all records for nominations are still on my hard drive, have shortcuts in the Start Menu and take a lot of hard disk space - infact I can still run all the applications that I have tried! Only the main actors who seems to actually have disappeared are Acrobat Pro and creative cloud application itself.

    I ran CC cleaner-who reports that she did good work, but of course, everything is still there - the only thing that is actually went is the entries for the applications in the list of "programs and features" in Control Panel - is not as if I can try to restart the uninstall programs.

    Anyone got tips on what to do next? I had a browse other subjects and you have failed to find anything, my apologies if I missed something on this, but I'm more frustrated. I really want to avoid doing a reformat on this system as well - there a lot of other software running and a reformat will just be a nightmare for me at the moment.

    Thanks in advance!

    Replying to my own son. Finally managed to get somewhere with Adobe LiveChat and they have recommended that what I suspected, remove all manually.

    In case anyone else has this problem;

    1 al 'hit explore' organize > folder and ' Options search, then on the 'View' tab uncheck 'Use sharing Wizard' from the bottom (not sure what that's all) and then check "Show hidden files and folders", if it isn't already.

    2 remove the following folders;

    a. program Files > Adobe

    b. program Files (x 86) > Adobe

    c. ProgramData > Adobe

    d. users > [Username] > AppData > Local > Adobe

    e. users > [Username] > AppData > LocalLow > Adobe

    f. users > [Username] > AppData > Roaming > Adobe

    3. run the Adobe cleaner again. Clear all entries of creative cloud & CS6.

    4. restart the system and reinstall creative cloud and Applications.

    I started the resettlement process and everything seems OK so far! Fingers crossed things will be fine from here.

    The installer people confirmed that it removed only the generation that it has been updated since then, which should have been NPSWF32_11_7_700_178.dll.  You can remove NPSWF32_11_7_700_170.dll safely.

    You should be able to verify that the installer deleted NPSWF32_11_7_700_178.dll when 11.7.700.182 and NPSWF32_11_7_700_182.dll is NOT marked read-only.

  • If I don't use that works I need to install Office are there updates to the common files, I need

    From the Internet, I received several updates of Office files with 'security update' in the name of the file.  I don't have room to keep loading these updates, if I don't need them for other programs to work properly

    Hi nancymosley,

    Works updates appear sometimes as Office updates.   If you do not have Office installed, then the automatic update feature should not offer updates for Office - but if you have installed works, it will offer to those that apply to the works.  If you wish, you can learn more about the update before installing it (and it should tell you whether it applies to works or office and what it does); However, if they apply to the works and updates of security you really have to install them to your system's security.  If this is the case and you have doubts about a particular update, after the name and the number here and we'll see if we can help determine you if it is necessary for the work.

    If you have not installed Office but simply do not use it, then you will receive updates for Office as well as works.  If you do not have an office, to avoid this problem I suggest you uninstall Office (all versions you have installed) and who can fix the problem (except as noted above).  If you want to have something like office works also available "in case", then after you have uninstalled Office, ask the free OpenOffice www.openoffice.org and you will be covered and will not get not the Microsoft updates specifically for the office.  This release also lots of space on your disk space seems to be a matter of concern.

    Although it is extremely unlikely for a security issue to occur through office if you are not using Office and it is just installed, it is remotely possible (but very, very unlikely-, I'm almost tempted to say it wouldn't happen).  But if you never use it, then you can cause problems without these updates installed.  If really, you do not want to install the updates and want to stay safe, and are certain that you do not use Office (if you decide to do, then you will need to install all updates before you do anyway to avoid security problems and other), then I highly recommend that uninstall you it simply.  I guess you have discs re - install if you ever decide that you need.  If not, then you can always still use (install if you don't have it already) the free OpenOffice which covers most of the common programs of office (with the exception of Outlook).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How to make a bound place update if the linked file is updated?

    I build pages of Wedding Album using PS CC in 2015. I am editing the individual files resulting in a layered tif file. If I then place the layers of the tif files in a new PS document I use linked place because it saves hard drive space and I thought that it would update when I change the master made.

    I noticed that if I change the original tif it looks not to the composite master gets this update.

    It seems to work very well to insert an edited LR .nef dynamic object. If I edit the document and update the thumbnail of LR by hitting Ctrl (Cmd) S.

    I can't get my .tif inserted files to update. I can't find anything on Lynda.com on this subject.  You Tube is too miss you.

    Thank you for taking the time to make that video, Mark. From what I see, you're doing everything right and Ps does not work as it should.

    One thing I noticed though, is that there should be an option to embed the connected in the Panel properties of the PSD master... I have a feeling that the lack of this option is connected to why the image is not updated. Unfortunately, I do not know why the option is not there!

    Can you try to save your tif as a psd instead, then re-edit the link to this new file and gone through the motions?

  • Creative cloud update failed, the uninstall failed, installation failed

    Hello

    Have had no problems with the desktop app creative cloud until yesterday. The popup of the indicated software I had to update the soft CC. It failed with the error code: 1001.

    Google solutions.

    Then downloaded the uninstall program that basically could not,
    "Uninstalling desktop CC completed with errors." Restarted Mac and used the latest installer, but received this message: "Installer could not copy a code review file/directory...error: 43»

    Google again.

    Download 'Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning tool'. «I don't want to clean the other apps, but the rest of the options is a bit confusing what to choose as: "Difficulty Host File", 'Adobe ID CC2015 AppBase' and ' the Adobe Id credentials ".» Cleaning of those will fix my problem? If so, what info I let go?

    Thank you!

    2015 MacPro, Adobe CC2015 last updated with the exception of creative cloud and bridge, OS X 10.10.5

    OK, that can be a pain, but I solved the problem and created a new.

    1. After following the instructions above and still not be able to install the desktop CC app, I tried to update an individual program by selecting 'Help' in the main menu of an open Adobe application, then selecting "Check for updates". Unable to update any application in this way. Just got an error message that the program might be corrupted.

    2. oh well, read a bit more online on the use of the Adobe CC cleaning tool and after saving all presets, etc. decided to "all clean." Danger, do not take this lightly. He cleaned more than what I've read he would.

    3. this clean all "visibly" deleted all my Applications folder Adobe applications, but not actually delete the hard drive. At least the available disk size has not changed and there are no applications to the trash. So they must be here somewhere too much room. Created problem.

    4. find an obscure post associated download Adobe Application Manager with a link. After installing or really re - install this application (twice), then opening the application, creative application Cloud Desktop appears suddenly. So I guess that the installation of Adobe Application Manager automatically installs Creative Cloud Desktop app?

    5. connected to CC with the CC desktop app and am now re - download Adobe CC applications.

    Don't know what's going to happen, but I'll post the rest of my sad story (hopefully with a happy ending) to others who might enjoy it just.

  • best import/update of the puppets. file format of puppets?

    I wish that the import and export of puppets didn't remove the rigging.

    It takes a lot of time to rig a puppet exactly as you want, and then if you update the photoshop file it can be lost and try to remember all the parameters that you set.

    I found it best to try not to include any information of rigging in the photoshop/illustrator file and do it all in CA.

    But I always feel to add many things to puppets as I create them and they keep breaking when I reimport them because of the new folder hierarchy.

    I noticed adding the + sign creates just one file in CA, so I just create a folder in photoshop instead of use the + to make it more compatible for updating my puppet.

    It would be nice to save a puppet as its own file format, with all the rigging intact. Then you could just import puppets (with rigging) into your projects and scenes. Or is there a way to do currently?

  • How do we uninstall CS4 so I can reinstall it without all the uninstall files?

    I downloaded CS4 Premium Design (using Yosemite) last week.  I had to rebuild the computer, and then reload the software.  Several problems have emerged:

    Photoshop didn't download.

    Acrobat pro is the gel etc. When I open acrobat I get a repair error message telling me that some components need repair. Adobe PDF printer is checked. When I click on continue nothing happens and acrobat freezes.  When I cancel the same phenomenon occurs.   I have to force quit.

    I told by adobe support, that there there was no support and perhaps I should uninstall and reinstall.  Well there is no uninstall with the last download file.

    How do you uninstall the software without uninstalling files?
