How ro remove previous map updates from Mapsource?

CDK

Hi,
I have been downloading the City Navigator updates using my lifetime update membership onto my PC for Mapsource and also on the Nuvi 1690 GPS unit.

I have accumalated a number of previous updates saved on my PC which show in the relevant dropdown list on Mapsource. These previous updates are taking up a lot of space on my hard disk.

Is it possible to remove some of the previous updates from my PC?
If so, how? Do I go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs on my PC and uninstall the relevant update - leaving the latest one so I can still use Mapsource - without killing off the codes?

Some advice would be much appreciated.
Regards
Cyrus

Yes, it's been a while since I used Mapsource but I believe that's the best way to do it.

In Mapsource...Utilities...Manage Map Products...Unlock Regions
you can select any of your old maps, click Properties, and it will show you its unique 25 character unlock code, so you can make a note of it for future refence if you ever want to reinstall that particular map from backup.

NB Mapsource usually retains these codes, and reports Map Product not installed.
