I need to delete programs that have been duplicated after the software update has been done.  The computer won't delete them.  Anyone else having this problem and if so, how do I delete the old program after it's been updated.

After upgrading software, it appears the old software isn't deleted.  My computer hard drive is almost full so I need to delete a ton off of my computer.  When checking the software that can be deleted I noticed I can the old software hasn't been deleted.  How can a person do this?  Any suggestions on how to quickly dump some programs.

Sig is right — reclaiming space on your hard drive should be a matter of looking for the largest files you can delete, not starting with applications. I have 200+ applications on my hard drive, and altogether they occupy less than 14GB of space. Just a handful of them — Acrobat Pro, iPhoto, Aperture, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Adobe Media encoder — are larger than 500MB apiece, and if I disposed of all of those, I'd only get 5.6GB back. My Utilties folder contains 78 apps, and it only amounts to 1.1 GB.
If you have any feature-length movies on your hard drive, those should be the first things you trash or move to an external drive.
