Can system update session files be deleted?

It seems to me ThinkVantage System Update must be keeping everything it downloads.
I now have on my T60 about 7000 files (2.5GB) of files under
C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\sessions.
Does that function not clean up after itself?
Can any of these files be safely deleted?
It is ridiculous to increasingly consume disk space like it does.
Thanks. 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can delete everything except system, temp, QuestResponse.xml, and updates.ser. If you delete those, System Update won't be able to start.

    All of your media and everything else should be on your computer. If it is not, then put it there.
    You can then sync it back after the update.

  • Can't update my computer or delete files

    Every time I try to update my computer it ask for my admin name and password. It use to only ask for my password since my admin name would always be in that space already. I know what it should be since I am the admin of the computer but it always says invalid name or password. I know I have the password right, but how do I find our what the admin name is?
    I have two users on the computer and I can't mark either with administrative rights. How come and how can I figure out my admin name. I know this might be a stupid question and hopefully someone has a really easy answer but where can I look for my admin name? please someone help.

  • Help! I can't update itunes because I deleted quicktime then tried to reinstall quicktime but there are components that won't be uninstalled

    Ok. So a while ago quicktime got deleted (but only partially) which won't allow me to reinstall it to fix it. The error with quicktime affected my itunes which I can no longer open. I tried to reinstall everything but I get an error because 1) the older version of bonjour cannot be removed and 2) an older version of quicktime cannot be removed which then says that itunes can not be installed without quick time. But I also cannot delete everything to reinstall. Because when I try to delete either Bonjour or quicktime I get this message: the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable!
    I have performed a search on my hard drive to find all quicktime files to try to delete but it won't let me delete the last three files and gives me this message when I attempt to delete: Cannot delete file. Cannot read from the source file or disk. And the other two only allow me the option to open containing folder, copy or extract....
    I also made changes on the registry according to someone else' instructions to see if that would solve the problem, restarted the computer but that didn't help either.
    Nothing has allowed me to reinstall itunes back onto my computer and without itunes, I can not sync my iphone and get updated! I am using Windows XP by the way
    This is driving me crazy!
    Thanks for any help in advance,
    Tiffany

    I tried to reinstall everything but I get an error because 1) the older version of bonjour cannot be removed and 2) an older version of quicktime cannot be removed which then says that itunes can not be installed without quick time.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has 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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    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 Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • IPod Touch Won't Update to iOS5 without error message (-43) stating all contents will be deleted. How can I update without everything being deleted?

    Hi there,
    I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation (Model A1318). For the last several months I keep trying to update to iOs 5 and it gets stuck during the backup phase and an error message pops up:
    As half of my songs are not iTunes purchases, therefor not on the cloud, I do not want to start from scratch and have everything deleted. Also, Apple does not allow you to extract songs back off the pod easily to backup, so it would present a serious hassle reuploading hundreds of songs from CDS etc. Can anyone help explain this message? Has anyone hit continue with the update occurring smoothly without anything being erased? Any guidance much appreciated. I tried several times disabling my anti virus software during the process like others have said on the boards and in the Apple store but the same message and outcome. For reference, I'm using Windows Vista and the most recent iTunes 10.6.1.

    See my response to your other post.
    The automatic iTunes backup does not contain any synced items like apps, music (either iTunes purchases or not). There is no difference in what is backed up. See:
    iTunes: About iOS backups

    Recently I did have a problem with my pacman DB files over here but I fixed that. I also tried now making a new empty /var/lib/pacman/sync directory but the output is the same as above.
    I tried Googling for this issue but I am not succeededing.
    Can anyone advise what I can do to troubleshoot this?

    Thank you for that link.
    I checked the first two  /usr/bin/ldbadd and /usr/bin/ldbdel and no package owns them. So I ran:
    sudo pacman -S --force lib32-libdbus
    because now I got:
    :: Replace lib32-dbus-core with multilib/lib32-libdbus? [Y/n]
    because I just enabled multilib in order to upgrade skype (which worked). Anyhow, the install of lib32-libdbus worked fine, but
    pacman -Syu
    still gives all the errors above. Should I try to rename all those files?
    Your title however is misleading - nothing says files are missing, the problem is those files are already there but pacman doesn't know why.
    Well, I also see this:
    error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/ldb-1.1.16-1/desc: No such file or directory
    as well as another. So something does appear to be missing to me.

  • Can't update reader - files in use by adobe 8.1

    I have tried to update to adobe reader x as I cannot view some things online.  My computer runs Vista.
    Error message comes up during installation:  Files in use by Adobe 8.1, close these then retry.   Adobe 8.1 has been deleted from the computer using uninstall and manual deletion.  Still same error message.
    Using the troubleshooting guide, I tried to delete Adobe 8.1 manually.  I tried to delete the files AcroIEHelper.dll, AcroPDF.dll and pdfshell.dll from my computer using command prompt, but computer says access denied.  When I try to remove them just by deleting them out of program files, computer says I do not have permission (although I am administrator).
    Any ideas???
    Thank You

    It means something else on your computer is working with your ipod. Make sure nothing else on your computer is open, and then open i-tunes only, and connect ipod to update.

  • How can I update my ipod without deleting everything on it?

    Ok, so here is the situation, and I am pretty sure I am screwed.
    I have an ipod touch, 32 GB 3rd or 4th gen (the one right before the one with a camera)
    My macbook (1st gen) died last april, taking with it all my music, photos, apps and other such files that are still stored on my ipod.
    I've already used a 3rd party ripping tool to save most of my music, but I have no way of saving or backing up my apps or photos.
    I am currently on my brother's macbook trying to update my ipod so my apps will work right (It has not been updated since april) and
    I keep running into the issue of distroying everything that is on my ipod.
    I do not have to money to get a new computer myself right now, so I can't really just start over, and I really do not want to repay for all the apps I have purchased. is there any way to update the IOS on my ipod touch without distroying all my apps, music and photos?

    The program that has taken over Firefox is called "inbox." I have disabled its cookies, but now, of course, I can't use the Firefox no matter who had taken it over.
    This is serious. I can' find the files with any routine search of my computer files, so they must be hidden.

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • Can you update .class files in a running portal instance?

    We are developing with wlportal4.0 sp2/wlserver6.1 sp2 and we're having a problem
    with the .class files which define our custom servlets, tag-libraries, etc. We store
    all of the class files required by the portal under (obviously) the web-apps "WEB-INF/classes"
    directory, following the standard J2EE servlet contract. Everything works fine,
    but if we change one of the .class files while the server is running, no matter which
    .class file it is, we receive a "Webflow Configuration Error":
    Webflow Configuration Error:
    XML File: portal.wf
    Current Namespace: portal
    Configuration Error Message:
    ClassCastException was throw while trying to cast class [com.bea.p13n.appflow.webflow.internal.IPProcessor]
    to [{1}].
    .. Followed by a dump of the pipeline session and the session attributes. The only
    way to get around this we've found is to stop and re-start the portal which, obviously,
    is a pain.
    Has anybody run into this situation and found a workaround?
