Deleting old JS2 Update files

I have JS2 Runtime Environment Updates, 3, 6 & 7 in addition to SE v1.4.2 using up a lot of space on my hard drive. Can I delete one or more of them without experiencing some unforeseen problem?

where is "home>music>previous itunes library folder" ?
It is in your Home folder in /Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes libraries.
Double click the *Macintosh HD* icon on your desktop. then go to Music/iTunes.
Note that these are single files of a few dozen MB. It is not a backup of all your song files or everything in your iTunes folder.
Deleting them won't save much space.

Delete old itunes updates

I need to know if is ok to delete old itunes updates from the computer, cause I have like 4 already plus the ipod updates, and my computer is getting slow. I don't know if everytime i update it creates a new Itunes and copies all the songs. Please if someone could tell me if it's ok or not.

Do you mean iTunes or iPod updaters like in the .exe files? Newer iTunes install over the old ones, right??
I would burn anything off to a back up cd first.
I once Uninstall some of the older iPod updates and ran into a small problem, so nice to have a back up. Paula

Delete old ipod updates

Is it ok to delete old ipod updates, but keep the last update.thay take up close to 1gig of space.

Yes, you can delete them. They aren't needed once they are used.
Keeping the most recent updater is a good idea.

HT1926 Trying to Download iTunes. Deleted all old files. I keep getting a message"unable to remove old iTunes update files". What can I do?

Tried several times to unload all old files. Keep getting tthe same message "unable to uninstall iTunes update files:. What can I do?

Many thanks.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

Can you delete old back-up files?

There tens of thousands of files in my iPhone backup area (Library>Application Support>Mobile Sync>Backup), most with old dates from previous back-ups. It doesn't appear that the backup process overwrites the old files.
Can I delete these old dated back-up files to free up space on my Mac? Can I assume the iPhone backup process is not incremental and a restore would not need these old files?
Thanks

I'm on 10.4.11.... forgot to update my sig (now updated).
I'm only concerned about it for eating too much (useless) space on my laptop, and perhaps running into some sort of file number limitations (if any).
I called Apple support on it and they said it's a result of me manually backing up (I don't auto sync backup due to the time involved, I right click the device to initiate the backup... maybe once a month).
When you manually backup, they said the system does not delete older backups. They said if you backup manually, the system also expects that you manage your old backup files manually. They said the manual backup files are not incremental - they stand alone each time you do it - so it safe to delete the older dated files, although advised to keep at least the two most recent backups intact.
Thanks for the input everyone.

Deleted old System-update directories

I am about to install ZCM 11 SP3 on our ZCM 11.2.3.a linux servers.
In an attempt to free up space can I delete the older system-updates from the /var/opt/novell/zenworks/content-repo/system-update folder.
Thanks
Mark

There is a bug (IMO), but it's a WAD that can cause the old system-updates to remain and zman sudu won't delete anything.
Should only happen on your satellite servers though.
If it's your satellites that have the old system updates, then yes, you can manually delete the directories.
It has something to do with the content replication schedule and the automatic (hard coded) database cleanup routines. IF the database cleanup routines run before the content replication, then you end up with orphaned system updates in the system and since the database thinks it's gone, zman sudu doesn't do anything.
I had like 15 GB of system updates I had to delete on 20+ servers.

Deleted old iPhone update, now what?

I received an error message during the new iPhone update 1.1.1, and I read some of the discussions here about removing a previous iPhone update (iPhone1,11.1.1_3A109aRestore.ipsw) to allow for the new 1.1.1 update. I did that and the update worked, but I am not sure - do I need to keep that other update, or should I just toss it? Thank you!!
P.S. My update worked just fine after deleting the file above.

It won't do you any good to keep the old update since you supposedly cannot revert to it anyway. Trash it and empty the trash.

Deleting old iPhone Updates

My wife and I both have an iPhone 4 and we are using the same iMac with two accounts to update the Software (4.01. / 4.0.2).
The 4.0.2 - Update has had more than 500 MB in Size and iTunes downloaded it twice - so 1 GB of HDD - Space lost on that update alone.
Is there a way to delete the old Updates while of course not making iTunes forget that it is installed?

I believe it does incremental backups (only backs up changed data) so those older backup files contain data that hasn't changed since the date of the backup. If you delete them you will not be able to restore the data that hasn't changed in a while.

Deleting old large updates

I have some huge update Java files that I would like to delete because they are so large. Can I do that without problems or do they build on each other?
I have both "Java SE Runtime Environment 5" (and 6) updates and straight "Java 6" updates. It comes to 900 megs!
And if they are not all needed (I suspect) why aren't the old versions automatically uninstalled when a new version is uploaded?
Thanks.

The most recent is all you probably need, but you may want to keep the latest 1.4.2 version in case you need to run code that's not compatible with later versions. You could always reinstall it later if you need it though.

Can we delete old access_log in apache

the access log of apache can be deleted or not?
As the logs exists were 3months old(access_log_pls.1135987200.gz,access_log.1135900800.gz).........
whether it wont affect the instance and apache.........
Edited by: suryabalaj on Mar 31, 2009 9:18 AM

Hi,
It should be OK to delete old Apache log files. It will not effect the operation of Apache (or the application). Just take a backup of those files before doing so as you need to refer to it one day (like the database alert_<SID>.log file).
Regards,
Hussein

Software Update Server - Deleting old updates to make space for new ones

On Page 77 of the SystemImage_and_SW_Updatev10.4.pdf Apple recommends "deleting old updates to make space for new ones". I've looked and searched and yet to find a way to do this. The Server Admin interface and the command line options I've looked into don't appear to provide this option.
So I actually tried stopping the server, moving the updates from /usr/share/swupd/html to another location, starting the server, the server wouldn't start, moving the files back again, the server still won't start.
1. Does anyone know how you're supposed to "Delete old updates to make space for new ones"
2. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get Software Update service running again?

How do I delete the iOS6 software update files from my iPhone?

My iPhone 4 automatically downloaded the iOS6 update. I have no intention to update because of the change to the maps. I use the maps everyday for work. Every feauture and detail is extremely important, so I don't appreciate Google Maps being replaced with a broken, inferior mess. I have a 16GB model and the files take up 2GB of space in 'Other Data'. I just went through my phone clearing data since the phone was full, and now it's filled up again with a 2GB file...
Is there a way to delete the downloaded update, or am I going to be forced to update if I want to remove the files?

Go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores
Click the Apple ID at the top then click Sign out on the pop up menu.
If there are any apps that the old user has downloaded on your iPhone still you will need to delete them as it will ask for the password whenever you try to up date them

How to delete multiple old ITUNES LIBRARY files safely ?

I'd like to clean up my Itunes LIBRARY files, but don't know what's safe to do and not to do. (I have Itunes 8.1 / OSX10.4.11)
MY QUESTION IS TWOFOLD :
(1) how do I create a new Itunes library file now with today's date; and
(2) how do I delete multiple (old) Itunes library files, without risking the loss of what I've got ?
This all stems from exploring Itunes as a result of a problem I had today... when trying to import mp3's from my terrabyte drive, after about 150 successful mp3 track imports, Itunes froze and everything else on my MAC froze as well (constant spinning colored wheel). After many failed attempts to force quit Itunes, I turned off my MBPro. On restarting, Itunes tooks ages to "import" files. Eventually Itunes opened but with only half of my original tunes (1500+ songs 8.11GB) and had nothing from today's import.
I found a post suggesting to hold down OPTION while starting Itunes. Then I selected a file from my hard drive > me > music > Itunes > "Itune library" with the most recent date and shezam, Itunes once again has all my songs, as before. Nothing I imported from the terrabyte drive today appears however, but no matter.
In my "Itunes" file there appear MULTIPLE Itunes libraries ! such as Itunes library, Itunes Library (damaged), and as well a folder called "Previous Itunes Libraries" which itself contains multiple Itunes Library files and multiple "previous Itunes Library files" with dates back to 2007. These I want to clean up and delete .... should I ? ... Can I ?
I really could use some words of wisdom from the wise ! Thanks in advance

Whenever you install a new version of iTunes and run it teh first time, iTunes will create a backup of the current iTunes library file and copy it into \Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes libraries, then update the iTunes library file in \Music\iTunes\ for the current version of iTunes.

I cannot delete cookies after updating to 9.0.1, also when opened, I have 2 new cookie files that disappear when FF is closed.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled 9.0.1, the same thing happens. Checked my Profile, cookies.sqlite is there when FF is closed or uninstalled. When installed and opened, I have 2 new files, cookies.sqlite-wal and cookies.sqlite-shm, along with cookies.sqlite. Is this the reason I can't delete cookies? Also I have, and have had enabled AdBlock Plus and Privacy Browsing. After updating, I can't post anything to FF Support (this is my 4th attempt, finally used Safari to post) and files under Tools, such as Clear History are accessible, I shouldn't have a History to delete.
(1st edit)
OK. I reinstalled FF 9.0.1 from Safari, but not directly from Mozilla. I used CNet, now things are working like they should. I have no cookies listed, except the ones I want. Private Browsing is working properly. However, I still have those 2 extra cookie files; -wal and -shm.
(2nd edit)
I spoke too soon. After accessing sites that I frequent, the 'ad' cookies are back (adbright, realmedia, 247realmedia) and the site cookies are eliminated, not there, gone. Now I can't login to anything and am back to Safari to access FF Support Forum. Do I have a bug? Someone please help, I'm desperate, I hate IE, Safari, Chrome, etc. They have neither the level of ad and pop-up elimination that Firefox has; nor, do they have the level of customization that Firefox has. The 2 extra cookie files, -wal and -shm, are still there when FF is open, and gone again when FF is closed. One more thing I noticed, I have a Chrome Support Application file in my Library. Could the Chrome cookie file interfere with FF cookies? I wouldn't think so, I have Safari, as well, and neither browser has ever interfaced with the other before.
(3rd edit)
I have uninstalled/reinstalled FF, all of my add-ons and also tried deleting the cookies.sqlite document from the FF Profile file, to no avail. I have counted, there are 14 sites listed in the Preferences>Privacy>Show Cookies pane (no pun intended) and they are all "ad" sites. These sites are also listed as blocked sites in Adblock Plus. Until someone answers, I give up, I don't know what else to do. There was only the one time that the cookies were gone from the Show Cookies pane, every other time I uninstalled/reinstalled anything, they were still there. So, until someone helps me, I'm stuck. The only thing I have not done is deleted the Profile file altogether. That is the last thing I want to do, unless I can save my bookmarks somewhere to move back after reinstallation. If this isn't rectified within a few days, I may just try that, too.

Do you have an extension like TACO (Abine) or TrackerBlock that maintains a set of OPT-OUT cookies?
* Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/targeted-advertising-cookie-op/
* TrackerBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/trackerblock/
* Beef Taco (Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/beef-taco-targeted-advertising/
If you do then you need to disable or uninstall such an extension.
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted. 
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
