The answer to this question varies.
If you are reffering to the updates you see in ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, then the answer is NO...
Just because you have installed the most recent updates, does not mean they are the same updates as the OLD ONES.
Even though I may have updated my pc a year ago, if I updated today, im sure there would be new updates, but this does not mean the new ones are updated versions of what I once updated, and if they are, the old ones will automatically be OVERWRITTEN...
If you are reffering to anything other than WINDOWS UPDATES, then it is possible the answer is yes... For example if you use JAVA from http://www.java.com you can have Both version 5.0 and 5.9 installed, and while one is more updated, the old one is still installed...
In that case, YES it is safe to remove it... Same goes for aol or regular software...
As for system updates, no, dont remove any.

There are purely 2 uncomplicated how you are able to thoroughly, a hundred% get rid of a report. One could be to bodily harm the problematic force, breaking it into bits, and then burning it. any opposite direction is to low point format the problematic force. an uncomplicated format, including one it particularly is carried out while re-loading an working gadget, or purely removing the partition, putting it returned up, formatting, and reloading the OS won't do it. A low point format, additionally regular as "writing zeros to the force" will thoroughly, and finally get rid of each and every thing the problematic force has ever considered. a typical format purely rewrites the 1st few bytes of a report, making it non-legible to an working gadget. utility is obtainable and in use which will attempt to place the report returned collectively making use of what's easily left over. The low point format is diverse, as each and each little bit of the whole problematic force is set to a nil value. there is not any thank you to get better something if this has got here approximately. The classes, including "report shredder" and so on won't accomplish this comparable activity, no count what they attempt to permit you already know.

no, it's not safe. The older ones are also needed. They all add up to all the protections you need. .
that's like asking, "daddy, now that we have an alarm system, can we leave the doors wide open at night and all the curtains open (even to our bedrooms), and leave all of our expensive stuff out on the lawn for anybody to take?"
Not a perfect analogy, but close.

Theoretically, yes it is as that old system has been replaced with a new updated one, although I never do it, because i like to keep my peace of mind. I guess it depends on what makes you feel comfortable. Although you should be able to delete them.
