Lookng to free up some HDD space?

Was looking through my Add/Remove page and was curious what could get the what should stay, what should go, and what was optional (pro vs. con)?

Desktop or Laptop?
Looking at that list it does not looks like you use that much space.
Your HDD seems to be rather small.

 

Entirely up to you, but it does not look like there is an excess of software installed that will free up a lot of space. Maybe it would be better to install something like CCleaner and see what you can free up with that.

 

I even went the extra mile and added it all up, it totals like 1857.79 MB + Windows it should not be over 20GB. So that's not quite a lot for modern hardware.

 

I have a HP Mini 110 the HDD I think is around 160 GB...

I have it partitioned ~30 GB is used for Linux and ~120 is used for Windows.

Only have 1 GB of RAM.

 

Take a look at temp files with CCleaner. Particularly Firefox's disk cache, which IIRC on Windows defaults to unlimited size.

 

Your pc is similar to my 160 gb hdd 1 gb ram Acer netbook. I use it all for Windows though.

If I were you, I would remove these :

I would not need Java, silverlight and Adobe Air. I use Windows built-in System Information so wouldn't need Speccy. My drives are NTFS so rarely fragments thus defraggler would not be of much use. I would replace Win Media Player and V Media Player with VLC. I am careful of what I delete and write. No need for Recuva. Win Live Essentials would not have been necessary as I use emails in my browsers, use Skype, use other app for editing photos,etc.

 

movies/photos/music on external DVD/HDD which you dont use often

also run ccleaner clean temp and free space of c drive is there


120 is enough if you dont have many games ........etc above stuff

i have 100 gb hardisk in which

20/30 linux i dont remember right now and rest windows no game in it. expect delta force

 

I should add that he might use Speccy to simply check the temperatures of his hardware (CPU, Motherboard, Graphics, HDD). System Information does not provide any information on temperature readings, So I can see Speccy being somewhat useful for him.

 

Oh I use Hard Disk Sentinel for that. He may keep Speccy.

 

Even removing the programs Iron Man mentioned you wouldn't be saving that much space, i would suggest buying an external HDD if you really need the space. HDD are so dirt cheap nowadays. . .
I got my 1TB USB 3.0 for $100.00 that's insanely cheap!!
I don't even know when i'm going to fill it, maybe in 10 years hahahaha

 

It seems to be 1024 MB (1 GB) on the current version (13.0.1).

 

Why?

Why?

I downloaded it before I knew my computer had something like it already.

How do you know what your drives are? ANd isn't it better than the Defragger that comes the the computer?

I didn't even know I had the second one until I searched the computer, and I was planning on getting VLC as my primary video player.

I am too, but with how little I know of PCs, I figure I could still make a mistake. Is there any built0in prodram that can replace it?

What does it do?
