Can I delete v1.14322 if I already have v2.05 of Microsoft.NET fra

I want to free space from my C:drive and I noticed that
Windows>Microsoft.NET>framework>v1.14322 folder has 1.4Gb of files. I also
got a v2.05 folder in the framework tree. Is it safe to delete the v1.14322
folder via Microsoft .Net framework 1.1 hotfix (kb886903) in Add/Remove
program?

No. These installations are not cumulative.
Jim

If you are not using .NET to develop software and .NET is installed only
because a software application on your PC requires .NET 1.1x then it looks
like you have the .NET Framework Software Development Kit Version 1.1x
installed which is much larger than the runtime version.
SDK Version:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

What you most likely need is the:
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Note: The .NET Framework version 1.1 redistributable package
includes everything you need to run applications developed
using the .NET Framework version 1.x.

You may need or have other versions of .NET installed on your
PC, each version installed does not supersede earlier versions.
So if you have NET 1.1 installed and see .NET 2.x also installed
do not delete NET 1.x as 2.x is not a replacement for NET 1.x

Thank you JS
Will the correct sequence be to uninstall frameworks V1.1. framework V1.1
hotfix while leave V2.0. framework installed and download/install NET
Framework version 1.1 redistributable package?

Also, since this frameworks aren't cumalative, why isn't the microsoft.net
framework V1.0 showing in windows explorer but not in Add/Remove program?

Great but I'm having uninstall issues now with the existing frameworks I've
got installeed including the hotfix for v1.1. Since I belong to the
administrators group, it not an access problem but a missing uninstall
package. I'm being redirected to netfix.msifor v1.1 and a patch package for
v2.0.

Should I just run the windows installer cleanup utility? If I'm not mistaken
it does wonders to missing or corrupted uninstall files.

After running the cleanup tool to clean all framework versions, my system
restarted automatically and I no longer saw any of the versions in
add/remove program, but C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 folder
and C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 folder still had its
contents with the v1.1 folder still eating up 1.4gb of disk space. Will it
be okay to just delete those folders from windows explorer and restart the
system?

If I have to reinstall the Redistributable Package next won't it just add up
to those folders?

Before you delete those folders, I need to know ...
Did you follow Method #1 - Step 1, 2 and 3 in this article to uninstall .Net
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100

If not then which "Clean Up" utility did you use and how did you use it.

I couldn't do step #1 so I first ran the cleanup tool (dotnetfx). by default
the product to cleanup was .Net Framework-All versions,then I chose Clean up
now. then my system restarted itself.

Just now I ran the windows installer clean up utility which is step #2, but
there is no Windows Installer applications for the .NET Framework for me to
choose and remove. Thanks for helping me.
