MS framework.net

I use a SSD(solid state drive) so mem is at a premium.
After getting an update, framework 2 has become 185meg, and FW 3 has become 90 meg.
When trying to uninstall, a message pops up that it won't be allowed.
It may have something to do w/ a repeated cycle when updating, and I need to be reminded how to shut off auto updates.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Sorry, I shoulda known better.
Running Windows XP, on a T23 thinkpad.
While taking a poker client update, the SSD would "stay on" and fill w/o accomplishing anything. The client never would boot, but the mem would return. I uninstalled and reinstalled w/ success. The only reason I even took the update, was in thinking that may be the problem b/c it happened in the past.
This time it seem to have effected FW 2&3 in the update.
I do have some self taught tech exp, and the "help" gives a way to uninstall FW but it states not for the novice.
Thank you for the response.

 

I found the files that need to be deleted, but they are protected and can't be deleted. How do I work around this? It seems to be an 87K file repeated over and over w/ an incrementing number!!

 

Thank you PLODR, that eventually solved the problem.
Is that pot limit omaha doctor?

One more thing, I keep getting access denied when trying to delete a trash file. How do I override the file protection to get rid of this obviously mem taking file?

 

I tried EMCO, it gave me a "msframework3.5 required" which I reloaded. Still same error, so I reloaded EMCO and still have the same error.

 

Didn't mean to imply they were "in" the trash file. Random files (3) were created on my C: drive, and I can't get rid of them. Same size, same jibberish.
To get rid of this 30mg I have D/L 90meg w/o results.
Any suggestions on how to get EMCO working?
