No matter how big your hard drive, it will slow down once it reaches 90% capacity. Free up hard drive space by removing unused programs. Click Start, Control Panel (in Windows 98/ME, Start, Settings, Control Panel). Double-click Add or Remove Programs.
If you have Windows XP, you'll see the size of the program, how often it's used and the date it was last used. This is helpful information, but you shouldn't use it exclusively when determining whether to keep or trash a program. You might use some critical programs only occasionally.
Click the program you want to remove and then click Change/Remove (in Windows 98/ME, click Add/Remove).
- When uninstalling programs, you may encounter a message asking if you want to remove a shared component. Select "no to all." These files are small and may be necessary for other programs to operate properly.
