Cleaning out AVG Update folder

Can you tell me where AVG recommends cleaning out the Update folder from time to time?

 

To the best of my knowledge, they say nothing on this. I will say that you can delete all the files in that folder except for the CTF file.
After an update is done, do not delete until after a reboot is done.
Otherwise they just keep building up.

 

I wondered about this too as I discovered the folder with double up files in it but did not know if they are actually needed. I am going to search for my update folder now as I am sure it will need to be cleaned out too. They definitely do not even mention this bit as I have been in contact with them due to problems with their last big update and they just told me one was my update folder!

Thanks for the tip on cleaning this one.

 

markp62's correct we can delete all but the latest BIN and
CTF

I have tried to find this folder again but have lost it I knew exactly where it was when I had a problem with AVG but now all I can find is the actual AVG folder, I would be grateful if you would advise where my update folder is (thanks)

 

Probaly here
C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG6\UPDATE

 

I have just found my update folder (v7) ubd7bin - do I just delete everything in there apart from the ctf / log / download info? Keeping the latest update?

 

Afaik Im not sure about other versions, have been talking of avg free or version 6


You should wait until another version 7 user can sonfirm.
I assume its the same delete everything in that folder except the latest bin file and the CFG and Log if there is one

Mine is u6133eo0.bin dated today 498 kb
and
avg6info.ctf 1 kb

 

Thanks Lonny, I was checking round the tech support on the site for V7 info but could not find it. I think I will contact AVG and ask just to be sure before I upset the folder

 

Perhaps I should've said I have AVG 6.0 Free version. Would it make any difference?

 

Lonny posted the correct folder for AVG6.

 

Hi received a reply from AVG about V7

Will have to look in these folders today, hope this helps others with V7 cleaning Thanks for your help with the fact they can be cleaned.
