How can i delete the older version. I can't see this.

Can you uninstall the existing version of Adobe Reader from Add/Remove Programs?
If not, try to remove all remains of the previous installation with the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 ), then try to install the newest version again.

Can i delete older versions of firefox on my computer?

I updated to FF 4 so can I delete previous versions if they still remain? Also FF sometimes freezes up when I start up -- what can I do?

Can I delete older version after installing a newer version of Firefox?

I have other software that when I install a newer version, it runs off the older one but adds to it...meaning I can't uninstall the older one or the new one won't work. Can I uninstall the older versions of Firefox when I install a newer one? I don't like having all this stuff on my computer!!!

Yes, if you have used you computer and feel you have all of the settings and preferences file you need then delete it.

I am using PS CC can I delete older versions of PS without creating any issues?

Would love to clear up some disk space. I am using PS CC and have PS CS5 & CS6 installed. Can I delete both of them without creating any issues?
Thanks,
Abel

Theoretically, yes. Though I recommend you do an "Uninstall" rather than a delete. I say "theoretically" because I once had a very nasty problem trying to uninstall a CS3 BETA release that resulted in an inability to properly install any subsequent releases. This was on Windows Vista.
This is old, but should apply: FAQ: How do I uninstall the Photoshop CS6 beta?

Hello, adobe reader on my smartphone automatically updated to DC. However, reader worked better on my smartphone, how could i get the older version, adobe reader, back? Thanks

Question is above.

Hey ferdinanda26896064,
You can download the older version of reader from: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions
You need to select the version from the drop-down list

Upgraded to LR5.7 and PS Elements 13. Using a SSD which is becoming Full! Can I remove older versions of these programs without affecting the functionality of the new programs?

Upgraded to LR5.7 and PS Elements 13. Using a Solid State Drive which is becoming Full! Can I remove older versions of these programs without affecting the functionality of the new programs?

Yes, there is no need to keep previous versions of software on the SSD (or on your computer).
Also, you didn't mention this but if the photos are on the SSD, you should move them off the SSD to a regular hard disk using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

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?

Automatically deleting older version of an item

Hi,
I am using 9iAS R2 (9.0.2) of portal. I have enabled versioning for the items. I am using "Audit" mode of versioning so that I can keep the old copies of all the items. But as the users go on adding new versions, the repository size is increasing. I was wondering if there is any way I can delete older versions of an item automatically. For eg. I just want the last 10 versions of an item, anything older should be deleted automatically.
Thanks

This is not currently possible. Something we're planning for a future release.

Deleting older versions of software

I'm trying to clean house. Is it safe for me to delete the older versions of iPod and iTunes software that are on my C drive, just so long as I keep the current ones? I always thought the newer software was installed over the old, but apparently not. I certainly don't want to risk losing any of my settings, playlists or music! Thanks.

Hi Nela,
Deleting old iTunes installers, iPod Updaters, etc. will not affect your iTunes library contents (your music, playlists, etc.), since that is stored in a separate folder than the iPod/iTunes installer files.
So, if the concern is if your iTunes library is at risk or not, you can safely delete those older versions of iTunes. Anyways, if you aren't running that specific version of iTunes, your current one has overridden it already, so you're right about the newer versions installing over the old.
It's just that it doesn't automatically delete the older versions off of your computer, iTunes just runs on the latest installed version.
What you might want to take into consideration, though, is the fact that you might want to keep around a couple of older version iTunes installers, just in case a newer version of iTunes just totally doesn't work for you.
I really don't think that's much of a concern, however, since you can always find many different versions of iTunes on download websites that archive many different versions of iTunes. For example, FileHippo.com has quite a few iTunes versions, 4.8 to the current version, to be exact, up for download here.
In addition, you can find old iPod Updaters on a few websites out there, too.
It won't affect your iTunes libraries, though, to delete older versions of iTunes software (or even your currently installed program, actually) off of your computer. As long as you don't delete a folder called "iTunes Music" (which is inside a folder called "iTunes", which is set in "My Music" by default), you're fine.

After updating, can I install older version on my second computer?

Updated to Elements 12. Can I install older version 9 to a second computer so that two projects can be worked on at the same time?

Yes.
All Adobe software can be installed and activated on a maximum of two computers. That means you can also install PSE12 on the second computer, provided the second computer meets the technical requirements to run PSE12

PS no need to install PSE9 on a new computer first. Just install PSE12, enter the PSE12 upgrade serial number then enter the PSE9 serial number when prompted.

Does anyone know how i can get the older versions of the ipod software

Does anyone know how i can get the older versions of the ipod software on my nano because my nano had a feature that when i held down the menu button for a couple of seconds, the backlight turned on.......well ever since i downloaded the most recent software, everytime i hold down the menu button, it goes directly to the menu(which im not very enthusiastic about). Can anyone please help me if you can? I appreciate your help=)

i agree with you 100%, i really want that feature back! it was so useful being able to turn the backlight on and off whenever i wanted. unfortunately im in the same boat as you are as i dont know how to get the old software

My i tunes wont delete older version to download newer version

my i tunes downloads new version 3/4 of the way then says it cant delete older version.
Someone please help

Many thanks.
yea it wont remove the older version of itunes
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you 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", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
