Default Programmes you don't really need?

I want to free up some space on my hard drive and thought about deleting programmes that I never use/don't need.

But i'm always worried i'll end up deleting something that's actually kinda important >_>

I tried googling but just got this;

Spoiler:

Many PC manufacturers pack their new computers with programs you didn’t order and might not want. These often include trial editions and limited edition versions of programs that software companies hope you will try, find useful, and then pay to upgrade to full versions or newer versions. If you decide you don’t want them, keeping the software on your computer might slow it down by using precious memory, disk space, and processing power.

It’s a good idea to uninstall all the programs you don’t plan to use. This should include both manufacturer-installed software and software you installed yourself but don’t want anymore—especially utility programs designed to help manage and tune your computer’s hardware and software. Utility programs such as virus scanners, disk cleaners, and backup tools often run automatically at startup, quietly chugging along in the background where you can’t see them. Many people have no idea they are even running.

Even if your PC is older, it might contain manufacturer-installed programs that you never noticed or have since forgotten about. It’s never too late to remove these and get rid of the clutter and wasted system resources. Maybe you thought you might use the software someday, but never did. Uninstall it and see if your PC runs faster.


over and over again


Anyone know any programmes you can get rid of to speed it up?

Go to add or remove programs, I think it shows you the last time they were used, and it shows you who made it.

If youre on about starter programmes I really dont know, would recommend it tbh

Id go through your music and delete anything you dont really like or listen to, youre not gonna wanna but itll free up memory on your computer and iPod
