Solve : Hard Drive Cleanup Possible Without formatting??

Answer» GOOD idea.Back to the original question.

Back in the OLD days, when hard drives were measured in MB, rather than GB and TB, it was a common PRACTICE to review old files and programs and delete anything not essential.

With the size of today's hard drives we have all (myself included) gotten lazy about deleting old files and programs that are loaded or downloaded, used once and NEVER used again.

If you are REALLY concerned about free space on your hard drive, occasionally review all the programs and files on your hard drive and delete anything you really don't need.The other alternative you have which i don't believe has been mentioned here is to upgrade to a new HDD.

The procedure then is simple...you hook up the new drive as a slave...use the HDD manuf. utilities to "Clone" the old drive to the new one...

Then unhook the old drive...set the new one as slave and you're done.
All your data and apps will be intact...but you'll have alot more breathing room...Quote from: patio on December 01, 2009, 02:03:43 PM
