Answer» Hi guys,
I have a number of hard drives on my computer and over the years ive thought i was installing programs in the right places but after a few years of use, things are starting to fill up. Im starting to realize that when i was installing things essentially all willy-nilly that i wasnt doing it properly, and now that i am trying to uninstall various programs i am AFRAID they arent uninstalling properly; sometimes its 'sketchier' software (not illegal/pirated, just freeware) and because they are installed on hard drives other than my OS, i cant simply use the add/remove programs tool (to my knowledge).
Sorry if that was a horrid description of my problem. Basically i have everything spread out of several hard drives. My OS is on an SSD and that is getting dangerously close to full. id like to free up some space on that, and im wondering if there is a WAY to 'properly' install/reinstall things so that i can use the control panel to see them all at once across all hard drives? is that a thing? Is it possible to move a program to a different hard drive without having to fully reinstall it?
Also could someone recommend a good uninstall utility or a thorough way to ensure im properly removing programs?
NOTE: if it would be easier to just reinstall my OS id be open to that too, though again, is there a way i could selectively save those few programs that i want?
