Can I delete Adobe downloaded files after installation?

I've just successfully installed Production Premium CS6 upgrade to my PC. I still have all of the files downloaded from this installation and previous downloads (LS7.7, set up folders, etc..). I've backed up
all of these files. Do I still need them on my computer? I'd like to free up the disk space they are taking, I'm assuming they are not used as part of the program. thanks.

If the install went fine and you backed them up, it is safe to delete them. Just to make sure, I'd start each program. due to licensing restrictions some components only run serialized and if you ever used a trial of any of the products, there may be a "post-install install" required to activate some of these features like e.g. mochaAE. In the past this was the case for all the MPEG CoDecs, also, though that particular limitation should not apply for CS6.

Can adobe patch files be deleted what are they whay do they take up so much space

Can adobe patch files be deleted? What are they and why does it take up so much space?

If you are using Premiere Elements 9 Mac, then the next thing to do is to get details on what you mean by "patch files".
There are no "patch files" as you describe. There is a Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Update that needs to be used with the program. That you install and do not uninstall for best performance of the product.
What I am wondering is this. Do you mean by patch files and the description that you give Scratch Files?
If so, then you are looking at preview files and conformed audio and video files.
I am strictly an Elements Windows person so you will have to help me translate my Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Windows instructions into meaningful ones for you as it relates to file location.
Under Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disk, where do you have Video Previews and Audio Previews directed. At that location, you should be able to delete these files. They are automatically generated when you render Timeline content. The consequence of deletion is that you will need to render again content in the project from which they came (if that project still exists). Go to the location shown and delete.
Then look to see where the Media Cache is directed. Those are conformed audio and video files (cfa and pek). They can be deleted and will be regenerated by the program if and when needed. Go to the location shown and delete.
Then look to Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and the Media Cache Database. That is targeting conformed video files (.mcdb file extension). They can be deleted and will be regenerated by the program if and when needed. You can click on the Clean button there to get rid of them instead of following the path to them as shown in the Media Cache Database area.
Do not delete any source media that went into projects after they were saved closed.
Please review the above and do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
If none of the above applies to your question, then please more details.
Thanks.

How can I delete all the files in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection from my machine?

How can I delete all the files in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection from my machine. I have tried Control Panel but it will not do anything, there are no error messages, it is like as if it is ignoring my instruction. Why should it be so difficult to delete programs one does not want. Any ideas please.

Can I delete the PDF file's content in Adobe Reader plug-in?

I create a plug-in for Adobe Reader, when I open the PDF file, can I delete the PDF file's content in the plug-in?

The people here are visitors who might have knowledge and might choose to share it, if they have the time, and feel like answering a question. Your questions, instead, suggest that you think it is someone's job here to answer your questions. If you want it to be someone's job, you should raise a support case. This too will require patience.
You will not welcome this advice, I am sure, but it is well not to try to use your own deadline to try to make other people feel the problem is more urgent to them.

Adobe Patch Files

I have lots of zip files above 100mb on my computer, they have 'Adobe Patch Files' in them. Is it safe to delete these? It is saying my disk is full

Yes, you can delete the source zips. just be warned, that later updates may check this stuff and fail if they don't find those files and a full reinstall may therefore be necessary.

Can Adobe Patch files location be changed to an external drive?
It takes up a huge amount of hard disk space

As of now, the only way to transfer or share Proto files from the app is via the Creative Cloud website.

Your question make no sense. What exactly are you trying to do?

How can I delete an old file from my library on iTunes

Occasionally I have to replace PDF manuals with ones that have been updated. But after I sync the new file the old one remains on my Mac itunes library. How can I delete the old file? So far all I do is deselect the old file but it's still there. Sooner or later there will be more old files then current ones making it hard to manage.
Thanks in advance.

You can do this with or without the iPad connected to your Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac. Click on Books under the Library heading. Click on the PDFs. Then click on the PDF that you want to delete in order to select it, and go to Edit>Delete and follow the on screen prompts.
if you are using iTunes 11 and do not have the sidebar enabled, and wish to do so, go to View>Show sidebar or use the keyboard shortcut OPTION+Command+S.
If you do not want to enable the sidebar, the library items can be accessed in the button in the upper left corner of the iTunes window.

Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup. However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails. And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external. Sort of a catch 22. Any ideas?

Is it a USB hard drive? USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice. Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem. If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time. I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

The two icons refused to be moved to the garbage. The good part in all this is that ater I turned off the computer at night and turned it back on the next morning they were gone!

Not possible.
Either unselect it during what it syncs, or manually manage > delete song.

Can I delete Adobe Bridge?

I use InDesign CS 5.5. However, I use it ONLY for simple projects like creating a manual to be printed. I do not do anything fancy with it. Can I delete Adobe Bridge? I see this huge 178 GB application plus all of its support folders in my apps folder. I never use it. Can I delete it? If I delete it, will that have any negative impact on using InDesign or Illustrator?

181 Mb (not Gigabytes!) on my system is not that large. The uninstaller for CS5.5 cannot uninstall Bridge. I'd leave it.
It's a very useful utility, you just haven't learned to use it properly.

How can I download Adobe Proto files as a zip?

Hi.
I was wondering why I can only download Adobe Proto files as file type "Proto/.pro" I read that it would be possible to download a zip of the original via Creative Cloud giving me the css, jquery etc. of the wireframe.
It would be great if someone could help me out and let me know how it's done as I have no use for ".pro" files..
kind regards
Franziskus
