AppData might have your email messages. You wouldn't
want to delete those in a sloppy or haphazard way.


I have many aol versions in AppData that are taking up 14 GB which I will
maybe see if I can move to the F: drive to clean up C: since I'm at 2% left
of C and the machine is at a crawl.

I try to keep one spare disk around, for "bozo backups",
where I need to back up something before I ruin it :-)


I have a terabyte external seagate hard drive but its not SSD.

Using Windirstat or Sequoiaview, you should be able
to spot the occasional "porker". I've had file systems
before, where the removal of one really big file,
was all the maintenance it needed.


I can't find it yet but when I do find it I will click on it.


With 1TB SSDs going for ~$150 and less, why not just get a generic
drive and replace it? The old ones make nice external hard drives,
($10-20 case) and a $20 kit can transfer your files and operating
system over to the new drive without a lot of hassle.

As an external drive I use mine as a repository for movies and TV
shows that I can watch on TV, or just to play around with Linux.
