Can I delete old version, same size, seen in programs?

I see 2 versions and it acts funky. Looking for a fix, figured it might be that there's 2, 1 month apart.

    Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1
    Thanks for the help with this.

    yes i have a question about this also. i have deleted and still see that it works with some websites. but each older version takes up about 90 MB size. the updates will not be left without deletion if there is no use for it. so, anybody has anything to say about this.

  • Can't delete old version of Skype

    I have 2 versions of skype on my iMac and can't delete the first. I had version Skype 2.8.0.722 then I subsequently upgraded to version 5.0.0.7994. However, the later version did not seem to overwrite the first and the old version always stills opens up when I turn on the computer. I then have to eject the old version and open the the later version. When i try to drag the old version to trash, a dialogue box opens saying "The item “Skype” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted."
    Can anyone help?
    thanks

    You say you are trying to eject Skype which doesn't sound right and sounds like you may be running it from the desktop.
    Did you definitely install correctly - downloaded the app, expanded the downloaded file and then dragged the app onto your Applications folder? If Skype 2.8 is located there it would definitely be overwritten by the new version, prompting you with a warning that you're about to overwrite an older version.
    Have a look in your Application folder and check that Skype is there, highlight it and do Command+I and that will confirm which version number it is. If you also have the Skype app on your desktop do the same to confirm that is the later version and drag it on top of the Applications folder. If it's not on your desktop it must be lurking in another location on your computer so in Finder do Command+F and search Skype - it should show you where they're all hiding.
    HOWEVER, before you commit to Skype 5 have you read the negative press and had a look at the Skype forums which are full of vitriol about this hideous new un-Maclike incarnation of what is a great app?
    Edited to add: If you're still having trouble deleting one of the versions you could try an app like TrashMe ( http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/33863/trashme ) but it'll probably delete all your Skype files and you'll need to start again (that's what it did to me but once I re-logged into my Skype account all my contacts re-appeared).

  • Can anyone tell me why I can't update my itunes on my p.c?  I get a message saying: the feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.   Tried uploading from websit, get msg can't delete old version.

    I need some serious help!
    I have been trying to update my itunes to version 10.7 and my Quicktime to version 7.7.3!
    Having no luck!
    So I tried selecting repair software on all of the Apple applications and they seem to have worked.
    Then I selected look for upgrades on my itunes (Help) main screen
    It said their were two updates -   Itunes  10.7   and  Quicktime 7.7.3
    I selected the option to update and the .exe files were loaded to my  Windows 7 p.c.
    However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
    saying   "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
    O.k.
    I then went to the itunes website and tried again.  This time it checked my system the process seemed to be working and all of a sudden I got a message saying my old itunes programs could not be removed and or deleted.  So I tried to delete my old version myself without success it won't let me.
    I've run out of options and am not completely fustrated.
    I have itunes on my desktop, my iphone4, my ipod and in my car. 
    Anyone have any clue how I can resolve this problem?

    Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

  • Install update of itunes -won't let me because it can't delet old version

    Help!!! I have been doing fine with itunes until recently. I went to update the version and got an error message that it couldn't update because the older version could not be deleted. I went to control panel and tried to remove the itunes that was there. I couldn't. It said to talk to software person. Can anyone help me? I can't access itunes AT ALL now. The files are there but cannot be accessed. PLEASE HELP!!!! Thank you

    OMG! I am so glad I am not the only person having this problem. I have been trying to figure this out for 2 weeks now. I followed all the steps to remove Quicktime and the old version of itunes. I also went in manually to remove the apple software update in the regedit, it stills says it can't be removed when I try to install new itunes.
    I can't use any of my ipods now. I CAN NOT WAIT for someone to help us with this issue.

  • Can't delete old version of itunes for xp

    When downloading the updated version of itunes,the installations stops and windows installer pops up. How can I locate itunes.msi. unable to to delete the old version of itunes.

    These sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Can we delete Old versions?

    I am using SQLDeveloper in Linux OS.
    When I open the .sqldeveloper directory, I see the following directories: 1) system1.5.5.59.69 2) system2.1.1.64.39 3) system2.1.1.64.45. Can we safely delete the older versions?
    I would like to save some disk space.
    Appreciate your inputs.
    -- Srini
    Update: 11g also comes with its own SQLDEVELOPER. Is it possible to uninstall/delete the sqldeveloper under $ORACLE_HOME? I am facing disk space issues.
    Thanks

  • J2SE Runtime Environment - can I delete old versions?

    Hello - I know nothing about JAVA so this may be a silly question. My computer has been running very slowly lately, and I noticed I have 3 J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 updates - update 6, 9, and 10. Can you tell me if I can delete the older updates? They're huge files, and I'd like to delete them to free up space if it's advisable.
    Thank you.

    Shouldn't, I repeat shouldn't, not won't, be a problem, but that won't help with your "running very slowly" problem.

  • Can I delete early versions of "Lightroom Database 2 Preview.lrData

    Can I delete previous versions of "Lightroom Database-2 Previews.lrData

    Thank you, Jim!
    Just to clarify--I was puzzled upon first reading your "No".    However, upon reading further, I now will happily delete the old programs. (2.667 GB!).  It was interesting to see the size increase for each one--from 207MB (3.4) to 780MB for 4.4....  The Control Panel (Win7HP) only lists 4.4, so I'll have to delete the old programs up to & including 4.3.
    Your quick response was very much appreciated!
    =================================================================
    I thought I could do the same with my other Adobe program files, but only the CS6 programs are listed.  Does this mean the previous files are automatically deleted when upgrading?  

  • 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 uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    This is for uninstalling CS2, but you might find it helpful. EDITED: but watch out, since I don't know if trashing any of these will remove currently needed Illustrator files, if you have a later version.
    To uninstall Adobe Creative Suite in Mac OS 1 -- Double-click Activity Monitor.app in Applications/Utilities, select AHCRemind, and click Quit Process.
    2 -- If you intend to install the product on a different computer, transfer the activation. (See “To transfer the product activation” on page 1.)
    3 -- If you want to uninstall Adobe Acrobat, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    4 -- If you want to uninstall Version Cue 2, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe VersionCue CS2, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Note: If the Version Cue uninstaller fails, see the alternative procecure, “To remove Version Cue manually” on page 4.
    5 -- From the Applications folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: Note: After you drag the items to the trash in steps 5-8, you must empty the trash before you can reinstall
    Adobe Creative Suite 2 on the same computer. • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional • Adobe VersionCue CS2 • Adobe Bridge
    • Adobe GoLive CS2 • Adobe Illustrator CS2 • Adobe InDesign CS2 • Adobe Photoshop CS2 • AdobeHelpCenter.app
    6 -- From the Utilities folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Adobe Utilities • Adobe Updater.app
    7 -- From the Library folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Application Support/Adobe/AdobeHelpData • Application Support/Adobe/Assistance • Application Support/Adobe/StartupScripts/Workflow Automation Scripts
    • Preferences/Adobe/Workflow • Preferences/com.adobe.ActivationUtility.plist • Preferences/com.adobe.GoLive.plist • Preferences/Adobe Save For Web GL 8.0 Prefs
    8 -- From the Users/[user name] folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Library/Preferences Panes/Opera Preferences
    • Library/Caches/Opera Cache
    • Documents/AdobeStockPhotos
    To remove Version Cue manually (Mac OS only, not recommended)
    If you’ve accidentally removed parts of the Version Cue installation manually or if the uninstaller fails, you have to remove the remaining installed Version Cue components manually.
    1 -- From the Library/PreferencePanes folder, drag the Version Cue CS2.prefPane folder to the trash. 2 -- From the Library/Preferences folder, drag the com.adobe.versioncueCS2.plist file to the trash. 3 -- From the Library/StartupItems folder, drag the AdobeVersionCueCS2 folder to the trash. 4 -- From the Applications folder, drag the Adobe Version Cue CS2 folder to the trash.
    5 -- From [user home]/Library/Preferences/Adobe, drag the Workflow folder to the trash. 6 -- (Optional) From the [user home]/Documents folder, drag the Version Cue folder to the trash.
