Microsoft .NET Framework - OK to uninstall previous versions?

[Ocelot]

Hi all,

On my WinXP SP3 PC I have the following Microsoft .Net entries showing in my add/remove programs panel:

Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1

Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB928366)

Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1

Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1

My question is can I remove all but the last entries to regain some hard drive space or will something break if I do that?

Thanks!

1, 1.1, and 3 are all largely unused right now.

So you could save quite a bit of space by removing those.

P.S. CCleaner is your friend...

Unless you have a .net app on your box that requires one of those versions. They aren't cumulative, so if you want to use a .net 1.1 app, for instance, you need .net 1.1 installed.

Right, right Cuberti.
