Post any helpful things to clear up space.


Tip 1: Do a disk clean up.

Tip 2: Go to my computer, right click, click system restore tab and turn system restore off (if your computer has no space, I freed 4 GB of space this way.)

Edit: HD space is what I mean.

    Tip3: nLite / vLite your OS, saves alot of space if you remove stuff you don't need.
    Example:
    - Vista x64 ISO original size: about 4.1GB
    - Vista x64 ISO vLited size: about 2.2GB (Tablet support, natural language removed)

    Of course don't remove stuff you'll need. Oh and once it's removed, you can't put it back, you will have to make a new iso and re-install your OS

    Tip4: only keep the data you really need on your laptop HDD, use external HDDs as archives/ space extension.
    PW has been endless frustration for me #2

    I had around 30% space left. I removed a ton of mmos I never play, defraged, ran spybot, CC cleaner. Pretty much everything I had to free up space.
