.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / July 2005Thinking of uninstalling .Net Framework
I have the following applications installed: Microsoft .Net Framework (English) v.1.0.3705 Microsoft .Net Framework 1.0 Hotfix (KB886906) Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903) Microsoft Visual C# .Net Standard - English I had taken an interest in learning to program as a hobby a couple of years ago and installed all of this stuff. Now my hard drive is nearly full and these programs take up 1.375 GB each. I don't know what kind of problems uninstalling some or all of them might cause, so any advice would be appreciated. Would one option be to just uninstall just the 1.0 version and Hotfix? > I have the following applications installed: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > would be appreciated. Would one option be to just uninstall just the > 1.0 version and Hotfix? I very much doubt that they *each* take up 1.375GB. VC# quite possible does, so I'd suggest just uninstalling that - the framework itself is relatively small by comparison.

It's good to know that the framework doesn't take up as much space, but do you happen to know why on "Add or Remove Programs", they would each show up as 1,375 MB? Are they all somehow linked so that I can't uninstall one without uninstalling all? Hi Sean, Most of the files that make up .Net Framework is located in %windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework Each version will have its own subdirectory there, typically called v1.0.3705 and/or v1.1.4322, in my case v1.0 was 37Mb and v1.1 74Mb. > Thanks for the quick response.

Morten Wennevik [C# MVP] it's probably the SDK taking that much space. the runtime, however, takes "only" about 70MB. > Thanks for the quick response.

I consider it a design flaw but apparently Microsoft did it this way for some [bogus] reason. Jon > Thanks for the quick response.
