Hi,

I need to free up some disc space on my C drive, it is not very big at 9GB
but I want to keep it as tis SCSI 1500rpm and performs very well. I have
kept all installs to a minimum but it is still getting tight. I notice that
my
windows directory is over 2GB, dones anyone know of any substantial sized
files I can get rid of without causing any problems? Is there for instance
any uninstall files from SP2 or anything like that? Any help greatly
appreciate.

Thanks lotsly

Any drive you can buy today is much faster.

To free up space on your hard disk
1. empty the recycle bin
2. run the disk cleanup wizard
3. reduce the amount of space allocated to the recycle bin
4. reduce the amount of space allocated to Temporaray Internet Files
5. reduce the amunt of space allocated to restore points (if you are confident in your ability to backup your system partition often)

I have a similar situation, only 8 GB on my system. Hard to believe xp home
runs so well, only 224 mb memory installed. Anyway, I chose the option to
compress all files not too long ago when I'd reached what I considered
dangerously low levels of hard drive space remaining. This restored almost 2
GB of hard drive space! Naturally, before doing so I had removed unnecessary
junk as well. Please get some more advice though, from the real experts on
this group before doing so. It could very well be they assumed you had
already compressed. Its something I would like to learn more about as well.
Incidentally, my file system is NTFS.
