   This feels like a stupid question, but I have to ask it anyway.  For years I've been running AutoCAD on my computers on a subscription basis.  And each year I get a new DVD with the new program on disk marked "UPGRADE".  Naturally, over time I've accumulated several years worth of "old" versions of the program.

So here's the question:  Can I safely Uninstall all those "old" versions of AutoCAD without messing up my most current (in this case, 2012) version, and recover some hard drive space?

I'm going to trust the wisdom of the group here.  :)

Thanks!
Dave.

	Yes, you can. The old versions are not neccessary.

	Dave: As a form of "insurance" create a Restore Point first before uninstalling a program. If something were to go awry during the process you could restore your system to its previous state. Remove programs via the Windows Control Panel. Do not do it manually.
