Are "Silverlight" and "NET/Framework" Registry Entries Safe to Delete?

[TomG]

Hi,

I am in the process of clearing my system of all FSX remnants and addons to make way for Steam. I deleted all of the many "Flight Simulator" entries in the registry with CCleaner and there are many Microsoft "Silverlight" and "NET/Framework" entries left. Are these safe to delete as well? Thanks, Tom

Silver light and .Net are web based programming environments that are not necessarily associated solely with FSX. I would be hesitant to delete

dotNet is Microsofts own Windows runtime environment, comparable to Java. Every program written in C# depends on it. Deleting registry entries associated with .Net will screw up your entire system.

As above, don't delete any of these. - Doug

I might also add, that unless you are short of disc space, there really is no need to remove FSX. I have both boxed and Steam versions running with absolutely no problems.

You can delete these entries via ccleaner. They are obsoletes registry keys left after updating Silverlight" and "NET/Framework.

Maybe. You can try CCleaner as it's a relatively safe process, but my point was/is don't delete anything manually (if that was the original intent of the question).

Thanks for the help, guys.

I'll leave them alone to be safe.
