wow, I jsut deleted 23GB of stuff off my desktop.

[notfred]

I should probably keep this PC more organized.

 

[boyRacer]

28GB of what?

 

[MithShrike]

Holy crap! I only have 13GB total in this system...

 

[guyver01]

you got rid of your pr0n or pirated music collection?

 

[rpc64]

Yeah how can you have 28GB of just junk you don't need?

 

[Fiveohhh]

I did that a month ago when I reinstalled had so much junk built up on my pc

 

[notfred]

oops, not 28GB, only 23GB... typo.

I've nuked 60GB from a system leaving about 13GB of stuff on it. Video capture and conversion can take up lots of space very quickly.

 

[guyver01]

oh.. well. .that makes a whole lot of difference..

And keeping different versions of an image or clip that we HAVE to save at different stages of processing... heh

When my new mobo and HD come in the next week or two I'll be nuking my system. Then my 80gig w/20gigs free will become an 80gig w/70gigs free.

Also try Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup | C: ... it'll show you the crap in the "typical" places... then you can hit ok to cleanup.

Yeah, doing video editing, especially in large files in a batch mode where you are away form the computer so you can't delete the files can add up really fast. Or if you're just editing one file, that can take up a ton of space as well...

I cleared off about 5 GB from the My Documents folder and about 10GB of other stuff. I still have to clean up a lot, I used to be able to stay under 4GB without any games.... now I'm at like 13 GB used...
