Please help..

[S Dime 420]

Hi, I have a Dell XPS with 2G of Ram and a C: drive with 149GB of space. I've used up 121GB and only have 27.1 left..

I've went through my computer and uninstalled ALL programs I don't use including tons of games.. Which I know for a fact was at least 40GB worth of programs.. I then deleted all the junk on my computer I don't use like music, pictures, files etc..

I then used CCleaner to clean out all the temp files and registry errors etc..

Is there anyway I can get that space back since I deleted probably 50GB+ worth of crap on my computer..

If you deleted all the programs and the file folders in the C/Program Files/ folders (because sometimes all files dont delete when something is uninstalled).

Then everything you deleted will automaticaly go back to free space on your hard drive.

So if you had 149gb of total space

Only have 27.1gb of free space

and just deleted an additional 40gb of stuff

You should have 67.1gb of free space out of 149gb total.

You should goto my computer, then right click on the C: drive and goto properties. It will tell you your free space.

There is nothing special you have to do to gain more freespace back after deleting programs, old setup files, registry errors, temp files etc. Once deleted its gone and free space gained.

The only other thing I can think of is if you delete 40gigs of crap you should do a disk defrag to move all your free space to the end of the drive.

This wont gain any additional free space, but it will fix the broken gaps of free space and used space making your computer a tad faster while accessing the hard drive or opening programs, or even searching for files on the disk..
