How do you remove older versions of flash player?

I have uninstalled the flash player and re-installed with the
new version, but I am still unable to get rid of version 9.0.115.0.
I can not find anything on the adobe site to remedy this. This is
my first laptop and don't want any unnecessary vulnerabilities on
it. Below is the link to the site where I got my information as
well as the"'warning" about the only thing that shows up vulnerable
on my computer.
http://secunia.com/advisories/28083/
NOTE: When updating Flash Player, older versions are not
always automatically removed from your system. If older versions
were detected that you believe should not be present, then please
contact the vendor regarding how to remove them from your system.
Thanks for any help.

I have Macromedia Flash Player versions 4.0.7.0, 6.0.80.0,
6.0.79.0 and 7.0.19.0 on my system and have tried using the Adobe
uninstaller multiple time to no avail (does it just uninstall from
the browser?). Anyway, I agree it appears these old files may be
vulnerable. Why does Adobe make it so difficult to remove old
programs? By the way they do not appear in my Windows Add/Remove
list. Please give us some specific method to remove them (not just
another reference to the uninstaller). Thank you

So that my PC is restricting the older version installation from somewhere which holds the version information and that user cannot modify/delete that information. If i know that mystery i can install any version of Flash Player in my Windows 8.
I hope i will find this.
Thanks for your support.

How do you uninstall older versions of labview and all their components, registries etc?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you're looking to get a more through uninstall, then Revo Uninstaller is a good way to go. That will run the regular NI uninstallers and then search for leftover registry entries and files. You can also use MSI Blast.

I have an older version of flash player in my new computer and I can't uninstall it it is system 32 and I have system 64 I am not much of a computer person and need help I keep getting pop ups saying there is a bad image

I have an older version of flash player that seems to be in my computer_16_0_0_305.exe and it says bad image
I could not uninstall it and put a new one in. I keep getting this pop up 2 and 3 times.

Hi,
The Flash Player installer is a universal installer for both 32 and 64-bit systems. On a 64-bit OS, it installs both versions, on a 32-bit OS, it installs only the 32-bit version. I'm confused by why you think you only have the 32-bit version. Please provide more information, including screenshots (How to post a screenshot in the forum) so that we may further troubleshoot your situation.
Thank you.

How to avoid installing newer version of flash player

Hey,
After installing the newer version of flash player it caused troubles to me, and I don't see any way but to install an older version of Flash Player, however after I have installed it the game forces me to Install the newest version of Flash Player, otherwise it cannot run. So here is my question. How can I use an older version of Flash Player I had before without installing the newer version of it?

Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html
After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:

Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
Hope that helps,

Removing older versions of flash

I just tried the Secuna security test found at
http://secunia.com/software_inspector
It tells me i have loads of older versions of flash
installed, many of them with security issues. How can I get rid of
them as there is no uninstaller in Add/Remove programs for them,
except for version 8.

Hi,
I do not have any idea about this software, but as long it is
not in the Add\Remove Program, then it is not installed to your
machine. I guess your software is searching for the Flash Keys and
registry files which is not an installed application.
Hope this helps

Welcome to Apple Communities
When you update iTunes, older versions are replaced. If you didn't update, go to Software Update

I want to re-install an older version of Flash Player but...

I hope this is the right place to ask this question...
I have a new dual processor pentium laptop and I upgraded to Flash V10.1 a couple of days ago. One web site I access regularly has now slowed right down and the video is unwatchable. My CPU meter runs at over 70% so I simply wanted to uninstall V10.1 and re-install V9. For whatever reason (I don't know if it is laptop, Win7 or Adobe), I am prevented from loading the older version. An Adobe window pops up and says that this (V9) is not the latest version, stops the install and points me back to the Adobe site to download the latest version. I have followed all of the guides to ensure proper uninstallation of V10.1. All very frustrating!
Can anyone help - please?
Thanks
Ian

OK, here I am replying to myself but perhaps others may gain from this solution. Remember, this original post was "how to stop Adobe preventing me from installing an older version and forcing me to take the latest version...". I just wanted to re-install an older version to prevent big CPU usage and stuttering video. Well, this is what fixed it for me an allowed me to install Adobe Flash V9...
Assuming you have properly uninstalled Adobe Flash Player v10.n, you need to remove a folder and files from your registry. If you are unhappy to do this, then ask an expert - the registry is not somewhere you want to get lost in. I am also assuming you have the correct system permissions, Anway this is what I did:
1. Go to start button and find (and run) REGEDIT.EXE
2. Rather than give you a specific path to follow, it is best to simply use REGEDIT to find the folder by clicking "Edit" then "Find".
3. You are looking for a folder called "SafeVersions".
4. When you find it, it may show a number of safe versions (previous loads of the player).
5. From the left window pane, right click on the aforementioned folder then click "Delete"
6. Respond to any prompts you might get, like, "do you want to do this..." etc.
7. Close down all applications in the normal manner and reboot.
8. When restarted, go back on line and download the V9 (or whatever version you want). You'll know its a good 'un as it loads in a fraction of the time.
9. Go back to your web page or whatever and, hey presto, everything is back to what it was before that hungry V10.n was uploaded.
Hope that helps, it might be nice if the Adobe uninstaller deleted this registry entry, but it doesn't - or at least in Win7 on my PC, it didn't.
Let me know it the above works for you.
Thanks and good luck

Uninstall older versions of Flash Player?

I just installed the latest update for Flash Player...can I now uninstall older versions?

Yes, you can.
It is best to use the uninstaller from Adobe. It is on this page:
http://http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Follow the instructions.
Because I am having problems with getting Flash Player that works on my pc, I have saved the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller to my desktop. It is helpful not having to go back to the Adobe page to get it when I need it.
After uninstalling old versions of Flash Player, remember to check that the new version you keep is installed correcly and working properly, go to the Adobe "Find Version" page and follow the instructions there.

Solution for removing unsafe versions of flash player embedded in HP apps?

Windows 7 64 bit IE 9 Flash Player 10.3.183.10 (the most current I can get--I have read the discussion on the update issues.) I have a 5 week old Dell system and have had an HP Officejet installed for 3 weeks. My security software detected 2 security vulnerabilities; one "Highly Critical" and the other "Extremely Critical." These are Flash Player 9.0r115 and version 10.0. Both are embedded in the HP printer setup files from the installation disk. These versions must be updated/patched for best system security. The problem is that while I have the updated version of Flash Player on my computer, the versions in these HP apps stubbornly refuse to be updated--and can't be uninstalled without activating annoying little nag boxes which constantly pester me to reinstall the HP "Solution Center" at each logon. After 3 weeks, this app suddenly decided that an .exe file was incompatible and the only thing that is different is the fact that I uninstalled (deleted) the outdated/dangerous Flash Players when they could not be updated. HP's technical support suggested that I uninstall the Solution Center entirely--but I got a warning that I would no longer be able to use my printer. Their only other advice was to "contact Adobe". Do you have any suggestions as to how to make Flash Player "play nice" with the Solution Center?---preferably the correct, updated version of Flash Player, so as to avoid any security issues---and how I might get that correct version installed in the correct file path? Thank you for any help that you can give me.

I suggest that you uninstall all FP versions using the uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download the installer(s) from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580 and reinstall.
