Essentially you have 10% white space on your box. You are only going to
reclaim 2GB of space by doing it now. What does he intend to do with
this small amount of space?
If you wait 3 months, is going to be better or worse, or what will it

There is no such Microsoft recommendation. The decision as to when to do an

Derrick,
I believe that the closest you will find a suggestion
Excellent approach Ed! For the past 2 months the white space has been in
the 2-2.5GB range. So, there's no real danger of space consumption. Unless
