Hi Ted, After running the analysis in disk cleanup & the list appears, to delete old Windows updates isn't listed as Old Windows Updates, it's just Windows Updates. It will say something like Windows Updates 672 MB or 1.2 GB. If you check this option to delete, the mentioned amount of disk space will be freed up affter deleteing the old Windows updates. Take Care. Mike This email was sent from my, iGoDodgersBarstool.

I ran it last night. I didn't see any old Windows updates, but my Internet access has been so quirky recently I wasn't shocked.

Hi Mario, On my computer, after pressing the spacebar on the, Disk Cleanup Button, & the disk analysis is completed a list is displayed showing the things you mentioned, & 1 more tab is the button for Description of the files you will be deleting. I've never used the, Description View Files, button before so, when we get back home I'll do these steps on another computer to see what this button is all about & get back to you. Take care.

Mike, in the disk cleanup option of my hard drive properties, I don't see any "old Windows updates" item, but if I tab once beyond this list to "view files" and activate it, another list appears with "old windows updates" plus additional items that did not appear in the first list, like service pack backup files 306 KB, setup logs 3.45 KB, windows cleanup 1.9 GB, system queued error files 4.57 KB. and Pam's question was is, it, safe, to cleanup (delete) old windows updates? in addition, is it safe to cleanup (delete) the items I mentioned? your and other input from others are appreciated, calling Carlos, Joseph, the other Mike, etc. On 6/11/2015 9:42 AM, Michael B. wrote: > Hi Again Trish, > > I forgot to mention that if you don't see an option in that list for old > Windows Updates to be removed, this means there aren't any old updates. > Also, each of those options will say how much space is currently being > used > by that particular item. > Take care. > Mike > This email was sent from my, iGoDodgersBarstool. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Michael B. > To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com > Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2015 6:29 AM > Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Old Window's Updates Removed? > > > Hi Trish, > > Yes there is.
