"DON'T delete anything"
There I go again. Everyone tells me that.

Do I need a computer tech guy to come by and clean
it up?

Thanks!

Wow I go out of town for a few days and come
back and we have some very good post on our
thread.
Great!!!!!

Regarding this post
Double click "My Computer", right mouse click on c:, click on properties, tools, defrag.
If your not sure what to delete, DON'T delete anything.


Let me put my two cents worth in.
DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING THAT YOU EVEN REMOTELY THINK MIGHT
BE IMPORTANT!!!!!!

I did that a while back and I crashed my PC and had to get
it upgraded which after it was all said and done cost me
several hundred dollars and I lost files that can never be
recovered.

With that said... it is not hard to see what you need and you
don't need. Just go slow and think about it.

Just a trick I use. Grab a copy of Zip or some other compression utility and stuff all your files into one .ZIP file. Maybe wise to do one directory at a time. Once safely stored, delete with wild abandon. If you go too far, just unzip and you're painlessly back where you started. PW.
