Thanks Fred, I'll take a look at those, especially indexing, and see how much space I can free up. After this experience with my X220 (another thread) I want to make sure there's room on the X300 for me to use it as "my" machine (not just as a borrowed netbook) in case of trouble, and that may mean more storage, even in combination with your suggestions.
Of course, since it was formerly my machine, there may be data already on it that just needs refreshing so the hit of adding (e.g.) 6GB of my data may not be a full 6GB of additional space taken. -- Andrew mailto:[email protected] Monday, July 9, 2012, 4:05:32 PM, you wrote: > On Mon, 9 Jul 2012 15:51:16 -0400 (EDT) [email protected] wrote: >> >>We've worked really hard to keep even 5GB >>free on an ongoing basis, I tried to restore my current emails and dropped it >>to >><2GB! > You might look into: > BleachBit --- remove unneeded files > http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/ > Turn off Microsoft's indexing (the index file took up 25% of > my hard disk at one time) > WinDirStat --- visual way to find space hogs > http://windirstat.info/ > MyDefrag --- it understands SSDs > http://www.mydefrag.com/ > --- > Fred J.
