Hard disks are cheap these days, but not free and won't be free in the future. It's OK if it is occupied things that I use, but sadly, not always so. For example, I can remove unused components , say games, at the "Turn Windows features on or off", but it doesn't seem to be removed from the hard disk, because the next time I add them again, Vista doesn't require the Vista DVD. After checking the directories manually I could find many unnecessary things like update installation file cache. If you know any tips to save hard disk spaces occupied by Vista, please let me know. Thank you. |

Thank you. First tip: learn how to use Google. Got this from Googling "free hard disk space vista" http://www.wikihow.com/Free-up-Hard-Disk-Space-on-Windows-Vista |

I don't have unncessary applications installed by me, and removing temp folder or temporary internet files are not really helpful. System restore data is intentionally kept in case some error occurs. I'd rather want some tips like removing uncessary component of Windows Vista completely from the hard disk, or physically removing some files that are unncessary., for example the update cache that could be found at Windows\SoftwareDistribution. |

System restore data is >intentionally kept in case some error occurs. How many restore points do you need? Your system is reserving - and will use - 15% of your drive to keep restore points. You can make that smaller. If you cut that to 7%, you'd free up GIGs. >I'd rather want some >tips like removing uncessary component of Windows Vista completely >from the hard disk, or physically removing some files that are >unncessary., for example the update cache that could be found at >Windows\SoftwareDistribution. I told you that I found something using Google. I wasn't telling a story... I WAS TRYING TO GIVE YOU A BIG HINT. |
