I know that you can remove some programs, but how do I know what ones I can remove without affecting my computer?

I know that you can remove some programs, but how do I know what ones I can remove without affecting my computer?

We cannot comment on what programs you need to remove. In addition, some programs running in the background and removing will raise questions.

However, you can uninstall programs that have been installed by you. You can go to start-> programs and features-> press enter type. Search for programs that have been installed by you, select them and click on uninstall, individually.
Once uninstalled, you can install another drive as the installation location.
But, before you uninstall, go on-> do work right click on the C partition :\-> click Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click Disk Cleanup. In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, click clean up system files. And then click Ok. This will clean the junk files.

  • I have deleted many programs and files on my system, but drive C never changes in size, he always tells me it's almost full, how do I know what files in windows are also safe to delete

    I deleted a lot of files and programs of C.drive but he never looks any different, it almost always shows full.  Can someone also tell me what programs within Windows are safe to remove.

    OK, if your computer works well here is how to save a huge amount of disk space and is sure to do. In your Start Menu, open computer. Check your free space, take a note. Right-click on OS(C:) et choisissez Propriétés.) Click Disk Cleanup and wait for it to complete the calculation. See the list of available items to remove. Click on an element and below, you'll see a descripion of what it is. Put a check mark in the box of files that you want to remove. Take note of the cleanest Hibernation file, if you remove these you must go to Power Options and enable the hibernation. Also check the files for downloaded programs files by clicking view files. If you want to keep some you should keep all or delete will delete all. You can remove all these if you want to that they will be downloaded according to your needs. Click OK and confirm. These files are recreated when you use your computer. Click Disk Cleanup again and choose the tab of Options more. Here you can remove programs that you do not use. Leave that for now. You will gain a huge amount of space by clicking on clean for the system restore and shadow copies. Click Clean up and confirm. It will take three to five minites then wait until it ends. IF it seems to click long cleaning again and confirm, and the page needs to close. Close the other page also. Now close and reopen the desktop page and you will see a huge difference.

  • I need to create a space on my hard drive, how do I know what program files / other files etc. to safely remove. See you soon

    The original message has been c drive was very low disk space. I have run Chkdsk - apparently very well. I now want to run Defragmenter but she needs more dick than is available space in order to operate. I need to dick free space - what I need to know is how to free up space safely.

    Frannie

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter

  • How will I know what program/Application is associated with a given file extension?

    General question: How can I determine what Application is using a certain file extension? Some are well known, such as .doc for MS Word, MS Excel .xls, PDF for Adobe Acrobat. But is there a master list somewhere which is viewable by the general public?
    This question came from what I was gettnig low disk space on my hard drive and do some research, and found a group of 5 files with extension. ECW, for a total of almost 50 MB. After trying for a few hours to find on the Web, what type of program may have created these files, I let fall, back up the files on a CD and has deleted and restarted. So far, no bad consequences, but still a little scary.
    I think that all software manufacturers should have to register their extensions with MicroSoft, correct? To repeat: is there a list published, or how to find this information in the future?

    Alphabetical list of filehttp://filext.com/alphalist.php?extstart=%5ED extensions

    Scroll to the end, click on the alphabet to find the extension and program to open with.
    e.g. p for pps etc.

  • How do I know what programs run in background

    HelloW

    I want to know if there is a way by which we can know what the programs running in the background that use the network

    Help, please

    There are specialized tools that can help you, it depends on what you want or need to do.

    But freebies in Windows 7 are "msconfig" and "task manager".

    in "search programs and files" type "msconfig" (without quotes) press key.

    In the system configuration window that opens, look in the tab. This will give a list of a few programs that will be launched at startup.

    In addition, in msconfig, click the tab and click on "resource monitor" then . In the resource monitor, click the tab to give an idea of what programs are using your network interface.

    Right-click your taskbar, and then click "start Task Manager". Look in and , to get an idea of what is running. By default your user process list, then click "Show processes from all users" in the process to see extra tab.

    More information - msconfig - http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_win7.html

    -Task Manager - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Task_Manager

    NOTE: But you don't only things "willy nilly", you need to understand what service/process done what before you start or stop anything.

  • I don't have the money to buy more ram, how to remove programs to get more memory and how do I know which programs remove

    I need of more memory, I can't afford to buy it, how to remove stuff to create more memory and how do I know what programs are ok to remove

    I think you're confusing terms and certainly confuse us.

    RAM/memory (they are identical) is the memory on the computer that is used by programs running as a temporary store for data.  How to reduce the amount of memory used is to close unnecessary programs or does not work as much.  for example close the browser and your e-mail so that the execution of Word program.  You do not need to uninstall programs, run just not, to save memory.

    IF you talk about not having enough disk space to store your programs and data, then the way to increase the free space on the disc IS to uninstall unnecessary programs - only you can decide what programs you don't need.  One way to increase disk space is to make sure you have emptied your Recycle Bin to delete the old data files, you don't want to, and uninstall programs.

    You need to tell us exactly what error messages you get so that we can determine what your problem is.

  • which Windows programs can be removed safely if I can get more space on my hard drive?

    I have an Acer Netbook - installed Windows XP Home Edition, SP3, 98 GB RAM, 1.60 GHz. I continue to have problems with the lack of disk space. I already deleted all the photos, photos, etc. I bought an external hard drive with 1 Terrabyte to use (I hope) as an aid.  Everything is saved on the external hard drive, but I keep running out of space whenever I get an update of Windows. I finally disabled the automatic updates, or now, my pc would not work even once. I need to know exactly what programs can be deleted, or how I can make the hard drive external hard drive. I can't afford a new pc with more space.

    Certainly, these services can be disabled and/or deleted.  You really should update your Windows XP SP3 as nothing else is no longer supported by Microsoft.

  • How do I know what RAID controller works the box?

    Using the VMware Compatibility Guide, how do I know what RAID controller works out of the box (no installation necessary driver, no action necessary special) for 5.5 ESXi update 2?

    PS - I initially assumed that if they appear then they work OOB, but there is nothing on the page registration or landing pages of the device that makes this clear.

    Once you click the RAID controller in the HCL, you will see all the supported versions of ESXi with the appropriate driver listed as "inbox" or async". There may be more driver for a specific version, but if one of them is stated as "inbox", it is supposed to work out of the box.

  • How do I know what the maximum number of agents I can put on a hyperic serv

    How do I know what the maximum number of agents I can put on a hyperic server. ?? IM using the built in database on a linux unbuntu 4 cpu system ' s2592 MHZ. 7GB of Ram. I assumed that the
    disk space can be the most important question? Any suggestions or any help to determine when to stop adding customers would be useful. We can use open source, but are also
    talk about the EE version. The Hyperic server type would make a difference in space etc.?

    Disk i/o is probably a bit more critical than the disk space that the DB generally is not larger than 10-15 concerts.

    Ability wise, your system is CPU/RAM.  Disk i/o will probably be your main bottleneck and the thing that will determine the maximum number of agents that can have on the server.

    Splitting of the DB from the HQ server would certainly help in the perspective of General load.  Definitely put the DB a system with several piles of discs (part of a San, fast raid) will help you in the disk i/o.

    If I was trying to answer the same question, I guess that I look at the Scriptures on disk on the DB as starting point, test the drive with systat/iostat or something to see what the drive is capable of in terms of read/write speeds and also look at postgres for slow queries, duration of execution of query, used memory and cpu.  Naturally, I would do the majority of "look at her" go to HQ itself :)
