Hi,

after updating my eclipse several times over the web more and more older releases accumulate on my disk. How can i remove these no more used older realeases from my disk without any damage to the currently installed release ?

You should never install Eclipse on top of another installation - always either use a new location or completely remove the old one. I'm pretty sure most builds/releases state this in their release notes or readme or somewhere like that.
I, personally use a directory structure like this:


Java/
    Eclipse/
        2.1/
        3.0/
        3.1M4/
        workspaces/
            2.1/
            3.0/
            3.1/
