Hello! I'm new to this forum, and was wondering If I could get some experienced opinions about which programs are worth keeping up space on my computer, and which to uninstall with CCleaner, and why. I'm going through this process for both a laptop and desktop. I won't repeat programs for the second list. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
