How do I delete everyhting on hard drive c?
Well...once you UNINSTALL what you don't want, you could reformat your drive c, but then Windows, or whatever you run, will have to be reinstalled, as well as everything else. This is extreme.





I suggest UNINSTALLING Outlook Express, rebooting, defragging, rebooting, reinstalling.

Reply:Don't do it. - You're using a shotgun to kill a mosquito. I would suggest posting your symtoms from Outlook Express first in this forum before taking such a big step.





If you really want to - go start, help and support, type format drive in the search, under MS Knowledge... it's answer 11. Print this out you will need it later.
Reply:Just go to: add/delete programs. from there select: add/delete windows components. UN check the outlook express. Once this is done the go back and check it, this will re-install outlook. If you try to reformat your computer and have no idea how to do it you can destroy your hard drive, I would not suggest doing this unless your positive you know how.
Reply:Do not delete everything for one screwed up program that is called overkill. Reformatting a hard drive should only be used if is really screwed up, like it will not load Windows.





Instead try re installing outlook or going to the windows updated site for patches that could fix the program. You can also try "System Restore" I use it when ever my computer is screwed up.
Reply:Remove all your programs from Add/Remove programs (in the control panel), and format the c drive.
