• Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?

  Original title: remove programs

  I think I have a virus.  I see on my computer a few applications with and installed as of 2004.  The computer was purchased in 2007.  When I run it in safe mode, it works fine and all applications have a date of 2007 or newer.  Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?

  Hello

  This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
  computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
  for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.

  =============================================================

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

• Full of drive C, the file in the C drive formats are not supported. What is safe to delete?

  my c drive is full of 98%. I need to know what is safe to delete. There are several files that I can't open w / anything on my computer. It says no file type supported or could be corrupted. How can I find out what type of file they borrow?

  Teresa

  When we look at the available disk space on any partition C you must take into account all the partitions and you did not provide the information necessary to conduct a review. Please provide a copy of your system information file. Type system information in the search box above the Start button and press ENTER. Select file, Export and give the file a name noting where it is located. Please download your disk from sky to share with everyone and post a link here. Please say if the report was obtained in safe mode.

  Hello

  
  1. what prompted allows you to remove information from appdata folder?
  2. do you have any error message on appdata?
  3. have you done any software or hardware changes to your computer recently?

• Could you give me a list of what is safe to delete Windows XP?

  Could you give me a list of what is safe to delete Windows XP?

  This isn't a list of "programs".  This is a list of files and folders which many (more?) are Windows system files that should not be deleted.

  You can Google these names as easily as possible, although some names are completely ambiguous without the rest of the way - for example, _default and configuration could be anything. Panther looks like it is related to your Mac.

  You must uninstall programs ONLY by using the control panel > add / remove software.  Do not delete random files and folders.

  Download and run JDiskReport... and then you can see what's worth worrying in terms of size.

  If your Windows system is running slowly, it is quite possible that you have been infected by malicious software.  What antivirus application on side Windows do you use?  His subscription is up to date? The subscription has already lapsed?

• It cannot be delete because the disk is write protected.

  When I want to delete a folder on drive c, then following the message show:
  It cannot be delete because the disk is write protected.
  Please help me

  These protections are put in place so that you do not delete the files or folders that have the need by other programs.

  If you know that you can remove there is a program called Killbox JUST BE VERY CAREFUL what you DELETE! Please rate me upward if you find my post helpful. Thank you!

• Files dump debugging and log files to install in the disk cleanup window

  The two points above appear in my disk cleanup window, and I wonder if it is o: k to remove. The first occupies a space of 283 KB and the other 2537 KB. The description of these two files in the disk cleanup window is "files created by Windows.

  I have a second question: I have about 5 GB left as free space on my hard drive of 'C '. If this is considered sufficient, or should I get more? I am a senior retired and only use the computer for basic items.

  I have a computer Dell Dimension 4100 with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP - Home Edition Operating System - desktop, 111 Pentium with 930 MHZ, 20 GB hard drive and 512 MB RAM. The file system is FAT 32.

  Thank you very much for your cooperation and your response.

  "Debug dump files" are copies of the contents of your computer's memory.

  When a program crashes, it will sometimes "dump" all or part of the
  contents of the RAM to a file on your hard drive. The file is useful to
  a technical support person who tries to understand why the program
  crashed. (Most of the tech support people have no idea what to do with a dump
  file.)

  Unless you have been asked to submit a dump for inspection file, feel free
  to get rid of them.

  Setup logs files are "log" installation of a program. If you
  Watch a (they are really just text files - open with Notepad) you will have
  see that they give a blow by blow description of how the program has been
  installed, glorious detail.

  If a program does not properly settled, the Setup log will tell you what that
  was wrong. If you have not had a facility wrong, do not hesitate to ditch
  These files as well.

  On the question of how much free space on the disk is enough... There is no
  standards. 15% of your drive must be empty in order for Windows
  The Defragmenter built into the work. In addition, it is to you.
   
  Your processor is another story. It's not easy to find effective security
  software that will work on a P3. Even if you only use the computer
  for the basic elements, an internet connection is pretty basic for a online
  criminal to find you.

• My XP desktop seems to have thrown my 'system tools' function and I want to use the disk cleanup and defragmentation... How to get back the system tools?

  My computer is as I said above a desk with the microsoft XP program and is a little less than five years.  It has been slow and it dawned on me that I hadn't used the disk cleanup or some defrag for a while, but I clicked on start, all programs, accessories, System Tools was is no longer.  I have not been able to access the disk cleanup or defragment option and hope that out there, can someone advise me how to get this feature.

  You can run Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter disk since the start > run box by typing the following

  Cleanmgr
  Dfrg.msc

  You can restore all of the 'Accessories' group (including system tools) by following the directions here--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Accessories.htm

  Or you could just create shortcuts to

  C:\Windows\system32\dfrg.msc
  and
  %SystemRoot%\System32\cleanmgr.exe

  Note that % SystemRoot % is the directory where Windows.  You can use this form or explicit as in the example for the shortcut from the Defrag.

• I - delta.vmdk files, non - .vmsn files. It is safe to delete all the snapshots in snapshot Manager?

  Hello

  Our VM froze because our ESXi data store is full. I deleted - .vmsn for the 1st file snapshot via CLI (using the "rm" command).

  VM is on thick disk and have 2 snapshots. so I still - flat.vmdk, - delta.vmdk. (for the two snapshots) and - .vmsn (only for the 2nd snapshot).

  wouldn't be all right if I delete all the snapshots in snapshot Manager? ATM, we don't have that 8 GB on the data store, and snapshot size is approximately 67GB

  Thank you

  Dan

  The lack of . VMSN file shouldn't cause problems because it is necessary in case you want to or need to go back to a snapshot. In all cases, with only 8 GB of free space on the disk, you can consider deleting the snapshot with the virtual machine being turned off. This avoids the need for disk space temporary additional database snapshots while / delta are merged into the base/flat disc.

• What I have to delete all the emails by hand or I can delete them all at the same time?

  How do delet all the emails at once?

  You can delete several at once. Press the button "Edit" in the mailbox, select e-mail then press on "trash".

  they must be selected one by one, there is no "select all" I remember

  If you have a lot to remove you may wish to do so outside the mail application. If your email provider has a web interface, use it. For example, I have yahoo mail, I use safari to go to yahoo.com and connect to my mail. then I will be able to select many emails at once (or maybe if your email provider supply)

  Can be faster if you have dozens, hundreds of delete

• Is this ok to remove temporary files with the disk cleanup?

  as I checked, temporary files takes about 30GB of space on my drive. I am currently using windows 7 Home Basic. I'm trying to free up some space on my laptop coz, it's been slow lately. It will improve the performance of my laptop? Thank you! responses are much appreciated.

  'about 30 GB of my disk space "

  It's a bunch of temporary files. Even 3 GB would be enormously, but yes, you can leave

  Disk cleanup deletes some Temp files it wishes. Cannot remove files that are used.

  Disk Cleanup is actually rather conservative in what it removes. I often deleted a large number of

  Disk Cleanup files left behind.

  Update of Windows and the service pack files may use a lot of space. Especially if disk cleanup

  has not been executed on a regular basis.

  Disk Cleanup can also remove these files, but if there are recent updates, it may be safer to wait

  you know that they cause no problem.

  If you haven't defraged the HARD drive for a while, doing so should also help speed things up.

• The disk cleanup hard disk, property Page is missing

  My button of disk cleanup on the property Page of all the hard disks on the general tab is missing for centuries.  Short of a reinstallation of Vista Ultimate x 86, we might want to know how can I get it back?

  Disk Cleanup works through other options available for the throw, but I miss my button, everyone has seen?

  I still have my representable pattern pink and blue used and free space on the drive, just no button.

  To the wire when I tried most of the troubleshooting steps based including SFC/scannow, ChkDsk, Msconfig, Safe Mode, different users and a few others, I probably forgot to mention, and does not.  There is a lack of information on the various web sites that I visited on this small inconvenience.

  Hi Linney

  Try this.

  Right-click on the Recycle Bin on the desktop and select Properties.

  If you do not have the Recycle Bin on the desktop, open Windows Explorer and look for him at the bottom of the Navigation pane.

  Recycle bin properties, make sure that the drive letter of the System Volume is selected. (Usually c :))
  If you have the 'c. do not move files to the Recycle Bin Option to remove files when they are immediately deleted"selected, and then select the other option. Click apply/OK.

  Check the results on the properties of drive of the volume.

  I hope this helps.
