I wud like to remove 1 OS How do i go abt it?
How to delete OS?Ive 2 OS one in C drive tht is XP prof and one in D drive which is XP homeedition??
Format the other drive, if you do not delete the default one (the one in the C Drive) than you should be fine. Be warned that you will lose all files in the drive you format if you do this.
Reply:If you need the files on the drive, open the drive, find the XP folder and delete it. Then run a program like ccleaner to clean up your registry.

Everytime you install a Windows Update, an uninstaller program is included - just in case the update crashes your computer. You can safely remove them if you are sure the updates are working fine.
Reply:yes if your computer is running ok they are the backup's of your system from when you updated windows, they are there for you should you wish to go back to before you updated, should anything have gone wrong.
Reply:no, these files may have files that are important to a game or games, windows (your OS), a typing program, etc. my suggestion is not to mess around with the files in drive C:\.
LOOK BUT DON'T TOUCH.
Reply:No they are what helps run windows

How do I free up space on my C drive? When I do the basics my pc says not enough space to delete?

I just don't get it....I am trying to free up space but they are telling me I can't because there is no space to free up, no ish Sherlock that's why I need to delete. Somebody save me from this Matrix World!

To delete files and skip the recycle bin, when you delete a file, just hold down one of the shift keys.

I found this folder on my C drive. What is it? Can I delete it?
yeah why not, if it is needed your computer will come up with a kernel error
Reply:Open it up and see what is inside. If it is files you know of, keep it.
If it is empty, it may be a virus, or, something else. Quarantine it.
Reply:I have no idea what it is, but try deleting it, then before you empty your recycle bin, make sure that everything works ok. If it does, then you didn't need it. If something doesn't work, then that file is necessary, %26amp; you should restore it before you empty your recycle bin.
Reply:It is to something in your dynamic link library. do not elet it, unless you want windows to stop working.
Reply:I think it may be a temporary decompression folder, from installing a service pack or something. However, do not delete! You should never tinker with anything that you didn't put there yourself, unless you are *absolutely* certain of what it is. If you post a list of the files inside, I might be able to tell what it is.
Update: It looks like a decompression folder for Microsoft .NET Framework -- the update might have been interrupted. Feel free to delete.

You have to delete them from iTunes.
Reply:Easy, when your iPod is connected to iTunes, check
'❐ manually manage' and then you can select the music library in you iPod and delete or put on as many songs as you like. Why do so many iPod users not know this?

Cannot delete my email, also comp. is slow c.50% of the time?
Well, you do have a computer problem! Mine does this ever so often...most of the time I just defragment, do disk cleanup and run my AVG anti-spyware and AVG anti-virus (which you can download free full version from yahoo home page). Sometimes my mail doesn't delete as fast as I would like it to, but it does delete...go out of it when the computer finally lets you,and do the things I said-chances are, you do have a virus....
