I have Photoshop CS2, CS and 7.0 all installed on my C: drive. I’m running low on disk space and would like to uninstall CS and 7.0. Is it possible to do this and not affect the operation of CS? Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry, I meant to say "Is it possible to do this and not affect the operation of CS2?".

yes.
you can uninstall the previous versions without doing
any harm…
*However* depending on which gamma loader was used…
you *might* have to reset your gamma values

Shouldn’t be any problem. You might make sure you have moved/copied any plug-ins, filters, actions, etc. from the older programs that you want to keep.

Yes, but you may need to reinstall CS2 over itself. If CS2 was an upgrade version, it installed using a previous version as verification that the upgrade was legit. If you remove it’s verification, you have to install CS2 from the CD again. This time it will ask for a previous version’s CD. It will run from the HD without any CD from then on.
