Spring Cleaning!

Go through your hard drives and try deleting/compressing things you don't need or use any more.

JDiskReport is a really, really nice freeware tool that I use to help me find crap. I found a 230+ MB broken AVI in my NES ROM folder... ).

I've managed to go from 1GB free to, well... look for yourself

(That, and 7-zip is pretty useful too)

Heh I used to have a program like this back in the Win95 days around 96. It also had a custom title bar with gradient and large italic arial font, which I thought was neat but I forgot the porgram

Wow. I've needed a solid program like this for a while. I used Drive X-Ray and something else, but this one seems the best of all. Thanks.

Not like I've really put much on it yet since my last reinstall anyhow (the story of that is for another day). I have 57.5 GB free, 74.5 GB total. Although had I not reinstalled, now would be an excellent time to do that.

lol blank cell
I just got a new harddrive yesterday since we were running low on space. I've been putting a lot of files on there so I can finish my installation of Live. Yay for 300 GB of free space.

I just got my 250gb external drive, so moving all my torrent stuff and music to it freed up a ton of space on my (tiny) 40gb internal hard drive.

I did spring cleaning in January!

All I've got is a 120 GB internal hard drive (well, and a 1 GB USB drive). Thanks for the JDiskReport link; it found a bunch of old torrents that I forgot I even had.

I really should get an external hard drive.

It is. It's simple, yet so packed full of informational goodness.

Hell, I shrunk my flashdrive down 50%!

The only thing to motivate me to spring cleaning is a blu-ray burner. *holds out hat for donations*

It helped me find a 2.3GB AVI file that we unknowingly created. Unfoutunately that didn't help much. I still have less than 10GB of free space left. 6.13GB to be exact . I might try deleting other useless files I have soon.

Spring cleaning? My room isn't that messy...*hides pile of useless garbage under the bed while no one is looking*

Although as far as my computer goes I don't think it needs cleaning yet.

Bah. I still have 80% of my C:/ drive still left. No need to mess around with anything.


My desktop is a mess, though. Twenty-one random images, two extra folders, one Word document, and a .it file of a chorus of Totakekes singing Drawcia's theme.


I need to clean it soon.

I clean out my stuff every so often, generally when I switch computers to minimize the number of CDs for backup. I still have some things from 2002 and later on here though that I keep around to look at when I'm bored.

For spring cleaning, I use a program called CCleaner to clean my shit on the computer. It deletes Temporary Internet Files, Internet Cache and some other stuff.

I usually clean up almost 1 GB when I usually run it.

I should probably do some cleaning. Though, my HD is already 80GB, then my external is 250, so I think I'm good for awhile.
