Which caches and temporary files can I remove

Using Drive Genius 3 I have identified lots of cache and temporary files they say I can delete. Is there any concern with removing them?

No, go right ahead.

Whre does oracle cache and temp files are located?

Hi
thank you for reading my post
Please do not shoot me if i have misconception.
I come from netbeans world and for netbeans there was some folder that we could delete to make netbeans cache fresh (so more speed).
for Jdeveloper i can not find such folder and its some times that Jdev works really slow.
once i delete the system directory and all my settings gone with that (specially server that i registered / database connection /libaries)
what should i delete to
-keep all registered server / librarye/database connections
-make Oracle Jdeveloper to work like a new installation.
thanks

If you wish to exclude anything from the backup simply drag the item into the Exclude list. For example, you can save considerable space by excluding the /System/ folder. Cache files would be found in the /Library/ and /Home/Library/ folders. Each folder contains a folder named Caches. There is no specific folder in which temporary items as stored that is visible to the user because the operating system will usually delete temporary files on its own. This may not be the case for a specific program, however. Browsers may maintain their own reserved cache and temporary files, and manage them on their own.
I do not think, however, that TM backs up caches or temporary files. I find no such items in my TM backup - only the folders. I do not back up my /System/ folder.

Time machine backups cache and temp files?

Just bought a new external usb disk and used it as the time machine backup volume. All time machine configurations are remained as default, so it would backup all my current HD. While watching it estimating the time that the first backup would take, a question jump out in my mind:
Will time machine backup all files "honestly"? Will it make a copy of every file including the Internet cache and temp files when I'm browsing websites? I'm used to watch youtube a lot, and the temp flv file would be large (though I don't know where it is stored on Leopard). If these files would be backup-ed as well, I think it would be a great waste of disk space.
Can anyone confirm that those caches and temp files would be copied or not? If it would, how to prevent this? Thank you.

Is it possible to personalize the size or the Path to your cache, history, temporary files and others?

Is it possible to personalize the size or the Path to your cache, history, temporary files and others? If it is, how can I do it?
I explain why. I am willing to create a RamDisk partition where I would place that kind of files with support to a bigger size, that way increasing my speed in Internet, and avoiding permanent writes in the SSD drive.
I am in i7 920 CPU, with system and programs working in a SSD drive and have 24 GB of RAM memory.

Hi cor-el
In my Desktop I have the 9.0.1 version of Firefox.
I don’t know if it is or not the portable one, but I presume not.
I couldn’t follow your first link, because page is not found.
The second link takes me to somewhere where I have already been and that gives no solution to my question.
I don’t want to disable cache in Firefox. By the contrary, I want it enabled and I’m trying to make it more efficient, making it bigger and placed in a very fast driver (A RamDisk driver, which is a driver made from RAM memory).
'''''What I want is to configure by myself the place where the cache and other temporary files are placed in my computer, and their size.'''''
So, I repeat my first question. Is this possible?
Although I am Portuguese you don´t need to redirect me to Portuguese pages, cause I’m perfectly familiar with English.

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

HT1925 I was trying to make sure that all my Apple software was uninstalled, and I still can't remove C:\Program Files\iPod\. I went to the Task Manager and it is not listed in the Processes tab. What do I do now?

Are you looking for iPodService.exe?
Might be better to run services.msc from the run dialog and shut down the service polietly.

Font.createFont() and temporary files

Hi,
I have a servlet which uses the Font createFont(int, InputStream) method to overlay text on an image, which is sent to the client.
However, each time this method is invoked, a copy of the font as a temporary file is stored in c:\windows\temp. Closing the input stream has no effect, and the files only seem to disappear once JBoss/Tomcat is shut down.
Once the font is read and rendered, it is no longer required; how does one signal that this temporary file should be removed? I cannot believe that there is no mechanism designed to programmatically remove these.
(as a possibly amusing sidenote - I recently went on holiday for two weeks and had temporarily commented out the lines to cache already-generated images. I came back to find 6Gb of temporary files, all of them being copies of Verdana.ttf!)
Thanks,
Matt
PS. Yes, I realise that it's inefficient to be reading the font file every time I invoke the servlet - I will change this, but I still dislike the thought of having useless temporary files floating around.

Thank you both so much for your help; I've upgraded from 1.5.0_06 to 1.5.0_08 and the temporary files are now correctly garbage collected.
There are several reasons why I am using an InputStream for loading the Verdana font; firstly, I believe it is best practice to write code that is platform-agnostic where possible. Secondly, I prefer to bundle dependent resources in the software itself rather than rely - or hope - on the target system having what the software is after (within reason, of course).
However, the pragmatic answer is that since Java's font kerning capabilities are less-than-desired (non-existant, even?), I am using iText to calculate font kerning. iText reads the ttf file itself, so rather than have a hard-coded reference to c:\windows\fonts\verdana.ttf (ick!) I decided to bundle the font with the software.

What files can I remove after installation?

I've just finished downloading and installing CS5.5 Production Premium.
The program files take up about 2 GB, but there's another 9.7 GB of files that seem to have been used for installation. They are in folders called "deploy", "packages" "payloads" and "resources."
Can I remove those other files?
Thanks.

Hi,
Prior to installation, the required files are extracted to a folder which contain the folders you have mentioned above.
You can delete the extracted files and that should not interfere with the application.
Do verify that this is the folder that you initiated installation from by clicking on the set-up option before deleting.
Hope this helps.

I have tried to install the upgrade to iTunes on my Windows XP system. It tells me that I have an older version of Bonjour on my system and that it can not remove it. I have also tried to uninstall what is on my system and it will not uninstall! Help?

I have an older version of iTunes on my system. I have tried to install the upgrade and it talls me that I have an older version of Bonjour and that it can not remove it. I have also tried to uninstall what is on my system and it will not do it. Help?

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 Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

I have PS 4,5,and 6 installed on my Macbook Pro as well as Lightroom 4 and 5. Can I remove PS 4 and 5 and LR 4? PS 4 is the total install and PS 5 and 6 are upgrades. LR 4 is the full package with LR an upgrade.

I need space!

First let me disabuse of a misconception: All Adobe upgrades are FULL installers. Whether you buy them as upgrades or new versions does not make an iota of difference. The upgrade installers do not need to find a prior version installed, they just prompt you for the old serial number as well as the old one, and they do not rely on the old version in the least.
Second, the time to uninstall an older version is BEFORE upgrading to a newer one. Otherwise, the uninstaller from the older versions will mess up with your new install. There are a gazillion files that are named the same and in the same locations as the new one.
Your best bet now is to uninstall ALL the Photoshop versions you have installed, including the newest one, one by one, then run the Adobe CS Cleaner Tool, then run Repair Permissions from Apple's Desk Utility, and finally re-install the latest version.
The other alternative, if your boot HD is large enough (very doubtful in case of a laptop like a Mac Book), is to leave all versions on it.
Your choice.

Which kind 3D format file can be used by LV

I will try to make a 3D model and display it in labview, then make it can turn and mark.
May I know which kind 3D format file can be used by LV, thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not familiar with ASE, but can give you a little info on the other two file formats.
STL is a simple, triangle based, file format used by many pieces of software. All the major CAD programs can export it. Examples are AutoCAD and SolidWorks. Due to its simplicity, it is probably the best supported. It is also the most commonly used file type for 3D modelling (e.g. stereolithography, selective laser sintering, 3D printing). You can get instructions on how to convert from a .skp to a .stl here. I have not tried them so cannot vouch for their accuracy.
VRML format was invented for virtual reality simulations. It has remained somewhat popular.
A net search on any of these formats should get you a lot more information.
