I have deleted all movies, most pictures and graphics, removed a number of programs, ALL games even those included with my system, and have cleaned with "Uniblue", "Norton System Works", all of the installed maintainence programs and with only the bare bones left on my hard drive, STILL NOT ONE % MORE ROOM!! I am in a deep state of memory confusion! will Ccleaner help me?
Did you delete to the recycler? If so you will not get any space freed until the recycler is emptied. Program uninstall should have given you considerably more free space, if you ran the program's own uninstaller or uninstalled from CC.
CC will remove program and system temp files, logs, etc. An analysis will show how much is about to be removed. CC won't clean up after program uninstalls, etc, except for what is held in those temporary folders.
I would advise against running the registry clean section of CC until you have cleaned up the rest of your system, and then only clean the registry stuff you know isn't needed by your pc.
It has taken me countless hours but I found the problem was "shadow copies"! ALL FIXED. This is apparently a real space gobbler in VISTA.Still, I down loaded Cclean. but I am afraid to run it. I see a lot of my incredimail stuff in the list and have no idea if they are temps or my graphics file. I really need to learn about Cclean before I run it to a disaster.
