Hi guys, I am trying to get rid-off programs and/or files that are taking space in my system....I need to free some space.
Question: can I remove the Setup files of programs that are already installed?????.....Or no way????....I am using those programs by the way....so I really need them.
If deleting the files will compromise the program itself, then I won't do anything.

Thanks.

Thanks for responding so fast.
The setup files I am refering to are for example:
the itunes setups (I have them in the desktop for some reason), the spywareblaster files (also on desktop), and the pc-tools setup files (on desktop).....I am not sure if you need more details on their location.

All that you mentioned can be deleted.

If you're trying to free up some space, do a disc cleanup. This will find (mostly) files you don't need and you can choose wich ones you want to delete.

HERE is a good manual for using and finding the disc cleanup.

Thanks so much.
Let me ask you, for my future reference, once a program is installed and running, I can go ahead and delete de Setup files????....or depends on the program installed????
Have a great weekend.

Rule of thumb...If the setup files are on the desktop, a download folder, or a temp folder, they are generally safe to simply delete. If they reside in the same folder as the application they install, leave them.
