Answer 1

start by downloading CCleaner (crap cleaner) it will clean up much unneeded space

Answer 2

If those are folders in your filesystem, you should not delete the folders, but rather uninstall the programs.

You can do this by going to "start-->settings-->control panel" find the icon "add remove software" and then select the programs from the list and klick on uninstall.

This will also remove the folders you listed.



Some I know:



- ComPlus applications is needed by the operating system.

- DirectX is used for graphics and cannot be deleted

- dirextx 9.0 SDK could be uninstalled as it is only for api programming.



Outlook express will not free up a lot of space, as well as netmeeting. Symantec is probably your antivirus software and therefore should not be removed.

Winzip is a usefull utility to open compressed files.



What helps me when cleaning up the computer is a disk visualization software like "spacemonger" for example.

There are still older free versions of this software around.

It will visualy show you the big blocks of data on your disk and might help you to clean up too.

Whoa, Hold on! Delete your songs, pictures, documents, thats all OK. Do NOT delete programs. Deleting them will cause more harm than good. Un-install them. Download a third party freeware like revo uninstaller.download it from here http://www.revouninstaller.com/

I'd say burn all your songs & videos & pictures on DVD or use online storage for that. Its pretty affordable right now. Or get a new bigger HDD. they are cheap too.

From what I see, ACD is a browser, NetMeeting,Outlook express, winzip can be uninstalled *no issues*.

Dx9, WindowsNT are windows files. Better not to touch them. You never know what might upset mighty M$.

The others I'm not too sure of. I'd not touch them without finding out what they are (It seems you have an older computer, uninstalling one of the programs may take off the bandage thats holding M$ in there ;-)

Answer 4

don't delete these, go into control panel/ add/remove programs. uninstal anything you don't use often. Keep! everything you listed (there all pretty improtant) right click on (C:) and select properties hit the disk cleanup button check every box except (compress files)
