I have a mac bookPro.
There are many programs or operating systems installed on the computer that have the original software program/system and now I assume from updates there are now many more of the same programs that end with: .app / 1.app / 2.app / 3.app etc. or .dmg /1.dmg / 2.dmg / 3.dmg etc.
Can the original and older ones be deleted or are they a necessary link to be left installed for the programs / systems to work.
I am concerned if I delete them the program might not work -- but if they are not necessary I don't want them taking up extra hard drive space and perhaps ram or processor speed.
Does any one have any experience about deleting these - or knowledge if it is necessary to leave them installed.
Thanks
