Hi William

Like you've suggested I've removed the following .dll files.

DotNetNuke.Authentication.ADSI.dll
DotNetNuke.Authentication.ADSIProvider.dll
DotNetNuke.DNNScheduler.dll
DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Authentication.dll
DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Compression.dll
DotNetNuke.HttpModules.DNNMembership.dll
DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Exception.dll
DotNetNuke.HttpModules.HttpPersonalisation.dll
DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewrite.dll
DotNetNuke.Modules.UsersOnline.dll
DotNetNuke.Provider.DBLoggingProvider.dll
DotNetNuke.Provider.Membership.SqlDataProvider.dll

Three .dll files I've not found. Perhaps these are .dll files that comes with versions between 04.05.05 and 04.08.00
DotNetNuke.Provider.SQLMembershipProvider.dll
DotNetNuke.Provider.SQLProfileProvider.dll
DotNetNuke.Provider.SQLRoleProvider.dll

Here you can see the upgrading process of the database. That seems OK

When I acces my portal the following errors occurs.

I would try to add the DotNetNuke.DNNScheduler.dll File back into your site as that is one that is there with a clean 4.7.0 and 4.8.0 installation.

Mitch is absolutely correct - DotNetNuke.DNNScheduler.dll - is an essential file that should be there.  The file DotNetNuke.DNNScheduler.SqlDataProvider.dll included in the list I provided is a different one which can be removed as it is no longer needed.
