Hard drive cleanup

[filburt1]

Have you recently had to clean up your hard drive?

I have a 20 GB (I am trying to get an 80 GB), but recently I ran out of space on C:. If you remember, I have my hard drive really stringently partitioned, and C: is ONLY for system files. I just uninstalled about 15 programs, dumped IE's cache, and removed a s***load of temp files.

This is the first time I actually ran out of space on my hard drive!

man you are too much. I have a 20 and I have 10 left. only because I parted it out for Linux so actually I have only used 7gig on my C:.

don't you have a yard to mow or a g/f..... well scratch the g/f you can't get off the computer long enough to enjoy her. j/k

I could use a GF.

I ripped a DVD to my hard drive, have 800 MP3s, and other "important" things that I "can't" delete.

so take the dvd and burn it to a cd so you can take it off your hard drive. you are jsut like me, find something cool and you save it and never use it again, before you know it you have 20gig of that crap

Uh, the DVD takes up 7.57 GB. My CDs are 700 MB.

uhhhh tha tis why you use the divx plug in to make them smaller and make it a VCD.... duh

Then it will take up two CDs, and I don't have enough HDD space to store the DivX before burning it to MPEG. And then I lose the menuing system, subtitles, language tracks, and the really really DVD resolution.

Agh...filburt...just get one partition or two tops...

Me, I have a 30GB and I've never used more than about 17.2, and thats when I have loads of stuff needing to be burnt or whatever...
