Increase Space After Removing Programs
Sep 25, 2007
My computer has an EXTREMELY small Hard Disk and I want to make the most out of it.I have ran CCleaner many times, removed a few programs that I dont need/want and deleted some music & photos that I dont need/want. But I ran disk cleanup the other day and I really didn't bother cleaning up anything because 1MB wasn't worth it. Ecept I clicked on the More Options tab and I discovered I can free more space by removing all but the most recent restore point.So i did this and i was pleasantly surprised with my results.

My wife is actually the computer whiz in the family, but she's out of town and I could use some help. We are running Win. XP. Our C drive is full and I was wondering if there's some way to extend the file size. There's not enough room to defrag (15% needed?). I've deleted some apps, but it's not enough. Mail, everything is affected.

I have a dual boot system setup. One each on it's own partition. I would like to delete 1 so it will free up the hard drive space for the other. How do I go about doing this. One OS is server 2000 and the other is server 2003.

I had a crash and felt like I had to reinstall XP. Obviously I didn't know what I was doing, but I did get the system installed and put programs back on that I had disks for. The problem is that I now have Norton, Nero and others on the hard drive that do not show up on the computer but when I do a scan I have to check through all those programs and they are taking up space on the drive. I cannot access any of them.

It's an IBM R51 with XP Pro.I've been using Zone Alarm on my desktop with Windows 98, would like to keep it but as I'm new to XP I'm needing some tips on what to remove or replace.After years of 98, XP is a total Nightmare to me, I read somewhere here that XP has it's own firewall and it should be removed before installing ZA How do I do that Can't find a thing.

I have an XP Pro and I know there is some place I can go to remove all of the darn icons in the lower right hand corner. All I need there is my fire wall and my antivirus. It takes so darn long for the computer to boot and wondering if this is part of the problem. If I just delete them are they still running in the background some where?

I need to free space on my C drive and have installed many programs already on a second drive. Windows Add/Remove Programs doesn't list quite a few old programs on C, like old versions of Quickbooks, that are listed by Explorer. How do I remove them? Something tells me it's more than just selecting them and clicking Delete.

Windows XP Home edition.Recently had to reinstall in case that might be relevant.I was trying to tidy up a bit by removing some programs from start up using msconfig. Will not allow me to do so and indicatess I may have to log in with an account with admin rights. I am using an acount set up as computer admin. Do I need to boot up in safe mode to do these maintenance things?

which files/programs take up the most space on your computer? I've removed all of the unnecessary programs that I don't need or use or at least the one's that have an uninstall program or if I'm able to remove them from the control panel. What about .xls, .doc, .ppt, .mp3, .wav, etc? I have Windows 2000 Professional, Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and MS Office 2003.

Previous owner of my PC manually deleted files for certain games etc without going through the uninstall processes required. Now my "Add/Remove Programs" list is over-populated with items I can't remove, and I'd like to get rid of them.Is there a directory I can go to, or a method of doing so?

The problem I'm having is, every week I do a scan disk and defrag. I've noticed that once defraged since a few weeks ago I HAVE GONE from over 70% free space down to only under 40%....I don't run any major software at the moment BUTDO use the internet on ADSL most days BUT not to any great extent. The only connection I can c is this copying Dig pix straight to disc...Am I right or is there sumthing else going on

i wanted to copy a cd image 4.18GB ISO format from partition F: NTFS 9GB free to partition D: (FAT32 12GB free space) and windows gives me that crap there is not enough space and i should do a disk clean up.
I made a disk clean up to partition D: and there was 3GB of system restore files!!! maybe coz i deleted 6GB earlier anyway i deleted the system restore files
Only NTFS partions can have files with file size more than 4GB..i hope theres nothing wrong with my windows or my hard disk..and i wanna know if theres a way to move that ISO image..thanx in advance.

I've noticed sometimes that the Free Space on my harddrives won't reflect changes I've made. For example, on my 28.6gb F: drive, I had about 586mb free. I just deleted a video file of about 700 mb, so it should be up to about 1.2 gb. Oddly enough, its still at 586mb.

I recently noticed that my free space on hard drive has been eroded and my used space has been increasing. I have not added any software. Much to my dismay I cannot figure out why this would occur. We did make recovery disks and removed our partition some weeks ago. It seems our C drive is using up space without any explanation. Ran many different anti virus and spyware software and they did not detect anything.

Have u seen what happens when u increase the Windows System Year from 2099.This was a nice and disturbing thing that I found out yesterday. Just go to the Windows Clock located on the bottom left corner of the screen and double click on it. Double clicking on it will bring up the Date and Time Properties Dialog Box. Now increase the Year field. Now the magic starts. The moment u cross 2099 the Year becomes 1980. So…â€.now what. As u can clearly see when the year 2099 comes (and ends) the next ear on Ur Windows calendar will become 1980. That is u r actually going back in time (hahaha…). As u can now have understood the implications can be manifold. U we staring at another Y2.1 scenario.Should not the Microsoft guys come out with a clarification for this glaring mistake?

I was told by my norton tech that the reason my computer was running slow was the rams. He said I should upgrade to 2 GB, but my computer only has two slots and the one it takes can't go higher than 256 so right now I have two 128 mb if I put in two 256 mb ram will it run faster, will it be worth it? It runs real slow, and has been cleaned up by the norton tech.

I have 160GB hard disk in which I have Windows XP installed in C drive(25GB). My E: drive is another primary partition(35GB). Rest of the partitions are made extended, in which F: (40GB), I40GB) are logical drives. The balance 20GB is a free space under the extended partition in which no logical drive is made. My system has become slow, because the system drive C: has very low amount free space available. So I thought of getting above 20GB free space to C: so that it would be 45GB overall. How can I expand C: drive? I have partition magic installed on my PC.
