I need to create some free disc space and being the idiot I am, I need to know if I have several update files can I delete the older updates without corrupting the system or do I have to leave all updates in place?

Need to create free disc space, so being an idiot I have to ask can I delete old updates or are the updates sequential and have to be kept?1 person needs an answerI do too

Hello MacMcb No, don`t delete any Updates Try disabling Hibernation and you will gain disk space equal to the amount of RAM on your system. Control Panel / Performance and Maintenance / Power Options / Hibernate tab, and uncheck the Enable hibernation box If it is enabled you will see that XP has reserved disk space equal to your RAM for hibernation You can re-enable hibernation easily by checking the box again as XP recreates the hiberfil.sys file. “Hiberfil.sys” is the size of your RAM since XP dumps the whole memory to this file before putting the system into hibernation Reduce space used by System RestoreTo adjust the amount of space System Restore uses on a disk, go to the Control Panel ('Start > Control Panel') and double click the 'System' icon. Then click on the 'System Restore' tab on the system applet. Depending on your disk setup use the following instructions: • If you have just a single partition on your system: You can adjust the space system restore uses on the disk by moving the slider on this page left (to decrease space usage) or right (to increase space usage. The maximum space usage is 12% and is the default. • If you have a multiple partitions on your system or multiple disks: Click on the drive you want to adjust in the available drives section on the System Restore page and then click the settings option. You can then adjust the space system restore uses on that drive by moving the slider to the left (to decrease space usage) or right (to increase space usage). The maximum space usage is 12% and is the default. Repeat for each drive as necessary. You can reduce this by half and still have enough Restore Points. If is up to you how many you need to keepIf possible turn off System Restore on all but the partition where the OS is installedRun the file cleaner in CCleaner .
