| 39029 | 2002-03-13 21:42:00 | Hello, When i downlaod a programme i usually save the files to 'My Documents' and then insllal the programme from there. The exe file is left there. Can i safely delete all those exe files now? Are they taking up too much space? |

I usually save them in case i want to use them else where, but that is my bad evil hoarder tendancys showing. If you want to keep your HD less cluttered Toss them now! | Guest (0) | ||

I moved all mine to a CD after getting a CD-RW writer, and reinstalled them after my reformat last December. It saved me having to download them again and some of them aren't around now anyway. |
