Can I delete old folders after updates?

Can't believe it makes one iota of difference but am using WIN7.
Is there any reason not to delete old folders in Lightroom and PS when I upgrade or install later versions.
Example:  I have 5 folders of updates (plus 4.2)  in my Adobe folder for Lightroom starting with 3.4 up thru 4.1.
Can I just delete everything except 4.2?
I have PS CS6. Can I delete the CS5 folder?
Thanks.

Most folks leave older versions on their systems to avoid potential issues arising from uninstalling an older version after installing a new.
Those who DO want to clean up uninstall the older software.  Are you saying you've done that but folders are still left behind?  In that case you'd be safe to remove anything explicitly identified as a version you've uninstalled.

    It just doesn't respond. I could click on an older PDF million times; nothing happens, but all the new PDFs created after the update open without any problems.

  • HT4623 Updated iPad and not can't delete old icons after use

    Since I updated the software I can no longer delete the old icon after when I finish using them

    Sure, but its the best you learn how to use the terminal. OS X is Unix and the most advanced tasks can't be done in the graphical enviroment:
    1. Open Terminal (You should startet in your "home" directory, this is the default)
    2. Type: mdls /Applications/iTunes.app (This will output a lot of information)
    3. Look for the last keyword "kMDItemVersion", it should show the program version (e.g. "10.7")
    4. From now on what to do depends on the position of the iTunes version you want to delete. If this is the most recent version you will leave this file alone. If this is an older version of iTunes you will want to delete it. So there is a decision to make.
    4a. Leave this file
    or
    4b. Delete this file with: rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app (maybe the permissions don't allow this to do, I could not test it)
    5. After that you could use the finder to move your regular iTunes version to your desired position
    6. If you most recent version is in an other directory, e.g. /Applications/Music/iTunes.app, you have to do the steps above with this path
    It makes sense to locate first the iTunes version you want to delete. You can get this information with the showed mdls command or with the information dialog of Finder. Click in Finder the particular iTunes icon once, so it is selected, show the information dialog (cmd+i).

  • Can't delete old iTunes after Mountain Lion install

    I updated my Macbook Pro (late 2008 version) to Mountain Lion and everything was working great until I tried to open iTunes from the Dock and got a message about it being unable to open, investigated the Applications folder and discovered that I now have two versions of iTunes, 10.6.3 and 10.7. 10.6.3 is in the applications folder but 10.7 is in a sub-folder within Applications. In the past I've organized apps in folders according to subject - home office, internet, graphics, games, etc., and have had no problem deleting old versions of Apple apps after system updates by either dragging them to the trash or dragging the updated version into the applicable folder and using the "replace" function. Now I cannot move either the new or old version of iTunes to trash or between folders. I'm getting a message "iTunes cannot be modified or deleted because it's required by OS X".. I've searched these forums and googled the question, and the only solutions I've found have addressed Windows PCs.
    From checking the "Get info" panel I can tell that the 10.6.3 version was installed prior to installing Mountain Lion, and 10.7 appears to have been installed either with Mountain Lion itself or in a system update shortly thereafter. I tried unlocking 10.6.3 in the Get Info panel, but that didn't allow me to move 10.6.3 to the trash.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Can not delete E-Mails after updating to Thunderbird 31.2.0

    After updating to Thunderbird Version 31.2.0 today, i am not able to delete E-Mails. Just nothing happens. Even the folder "Papierkorb" dissappeared. Can anyone help?

    I first noticed this problem yesterday -- which was also the day I installed TB 31.2.
    Rebuilding the folder did not help and I also tried rebuilding the folder for deleted. But I still cannot delete -- either by the DEL key or by dragging some messages to the deleted folder.

    The hard disk of my xServe is almost full and I need to delete the old Apple Software Udates that it contains (some of them are from 2005!!)
    And I don´t know how to make it!!

    Thank's in advance from Spain.

    You could try what
    s in <http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9289958#9289958>, or, as this is a new setup which isn't in use, you could just nuke the system and reinstall and this time use the correct DNS name.

  • My iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?

    my iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?
    also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

    You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
    USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • How can we delete old BPM instances

    Hi,

    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sudhakar.

    Yes,
    Robin is right. U forgot to implement an exception step, for example for an tranformation and the process can't stop itself. The result is very funny: U can do what u want, nothing will change ur fault until u become black or kill the workitem in TA SWWL.
    Robin has much more knowledge about BPM than about Java Proxies and is very helpful bcoz he is a bit lonly now

  • HT204053 How can I delete old apple  IDs

    How can I delet old apple I'd so I only have one because it causes problems when downloading apps

    The content (music, videos, apps, games, etc) that is aquired with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. Apple does not transfer the content of one Apple ID to another ID and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. Unless you wish to abandon all of the content associated with an Apple ID and buy it again with another Apple ID, you should maintain the ID in order to redownload or update the content in the future.
    It is not a good idea to make numerious Apple IDs for this very reason.

  • How can I delete old data in citadel

    How can I delete old data from Citadel so that HDD is not full when data is continously being logged in the database ?

    Hi there,
    I could see different possible ways to limit the database size on a LabVIEW DSC system.
    a) You could limit the lifespan of your logged data to a certain time by adjusting the option 'Days to keep historical data' in the Tag Configuration Editor>Configure>Historical... tab.
    b) You could use the Citadel Database VIs. Archive Database.vi would allow you to archive a database or a part (certain traces/tags, or certain time interval) to another location. With the archive option 'destructive', it would delete the source of the data from the original database.
    Delete Traces.vi would delete a traces from a database.
    c) The same/similar functionality you can have throught the Measurement and Automation Explorer and its Historical Data Viewer plug-in
    b) and c) are NEW features of LabVIEW DSC 6.1!
    Hope this helps
    Roland
    PS: There is a nice link about archiving Citadel on ni.com :

  • How can i recover my voicemails after updating my iPhone?

    How can i recover my voicemails after updating my iPhone?

    When one restores an iPhone from its own backup, visual voicemail is also restored. However, when one restores a new iPhone from a backup from a previous phone, the voicemails fail to restore. This occurred between my 3G to 4s, and again from the 4s to a 5s. Restoring the 4s once from its own backup resulted in voicemail recovery.
    My only explanation is that when a different SIM card is used, voicemails cannot restore as one would otherwise expect. Perhaps voicemails are inexplicably tied to their SIMs. Unfortunately, newer models of iPhones tend to use exceedingly different sizes, rendering one possible fix unpursuable. iBackupBot is the other possible solution: you can extract the voicemails from the backup and restore them onto the new iPhone individually.
