My PC is so full and I really want to clean it up. I am trying to figure out where to start. I would like to be computer savvy and not have to depend on a free program to do this.
How I did it: Honestly, I didn't do it. My computer got a virus and when we took it in to be fixed the people there accidentally deleted everything. Now I'm just working on keeping it decluttered. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I defragmented the hard drive, went through every file and folder in order to find everything I wanted to delete, did updates (it only needed a Java update), orgnized files and folders, cleaned up the desktop, deleted the history and temporary files and backed everything up. Read how I did it…

How I did it: go to your start menu. go to programs/accessories/system tools/ disk defragmenter & defrag your computer. after it is finished defraging it will give you the option to review the results. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I deleted songs, pictures and old school files and then I did a happy dance when I was done. I guess the time consuming factor comes in when you have to look through absolutely EVERYTHING to deem whether or not it is worth keeping. Re-reading papers, articles, and other random documents was the worst, but also the best part. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I went through my computer, deleted all my unnecessary documents, pictures and such. I did some system updates and cleaning things (I'm not that much of a techie, as you can see) and tried my best to get rid of everything I didn't need. I didn't get rid of too many music files, which I had expected to do, but that's okay. My computer is running a bit faster, and that's all I wanted! Read how I did it…

I’ve been wanting to do this one for a LOONG time (my 30gig hard drive keeps running out of space!) I’ve freed up about 8 gigs by removing pics, programs, and music to my brand new external hard drive. It took a while because my old hard drive was crashing… thanks to Best Buy, I got a brand new 320 gig drive for the same price as my old 160gig drive (that was still under warrentee :-)

I’ve been avoiding my e-mail client for a while now which isn’t helping things. I normally get at least two hundred e-mails in a checking, so this cleaning is long overdue.
I managed to get rid of 40mb so far and I’m hoping for even more today. Nearly 4,000 e-mail messages left to go…
My computer is so messed up , I just want to fix it..With the economy who has te money to throw hundreds of dollars fixing your computer these days?
Let’s see where I am with this. I have been trying to be careful with saving new files and installing new software. Files are very well-organised right now, and I’m still using just about 20 GB all together.
I made a text-file in which I note what I’m installing and for what purpose. I’ve put a note in my tickler file to go over that list (and anything else that might have found its way in…) in June, and also do a general file-cleanup then. (This to satisfy my yearly cleanup goal from the previous post.)
Still evaluating music, but in the meantime I’ve got 1592 files left. I forgot about this for a while, I could go much faster of course.
Didn’t do much more on evaluating pictures. I looked through some of them (but I don’t know if I looked through all), and saved them to a cd, but the cd doesn’t seem to work, so I can’t delete them yet. In the meantime I’ve actually got a lot more pics to do (623).
So goals left:

Most of the 450mb or so… is gone. A lot of it was junk and/or mailing list stuff and it went back as far as 2005 in some instances. /shame/
I have, maybe, 25mb to go and then I’ll have finished with that aspect at least.
