| 746232 | 2009-02-09 06:51:00 | I have a friend who is starting to run out of space on her eee 901 with a 12gb eee. I've disabled system restore, the paging file and ran ccleaner. Anything else I can delete to trim it down? I also have an eee 901, but mines running a tiny nlite version:p Thanks Blam |

| 746234 | 2009-02-09 07:00:00 | I've already disabled hibernate. I'll remove MSN explorer and games now. She can't do an nlite install, as she doesn't have an XP disc, I have one, but I'm only remotely fixing her eee, I can't remote install XP! |

| 746235 | 2009-02-09 07:05:00 | I suggest if she has loads of music on her eee pc than she might have to get rid of some and also women turn to have a load of pictures as well on their pcs. She might need to get an external drive as well. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 746236 | 2009-02-09 07:07:00 | She has almost nothing except documents on her netbook. She is a principal. And she may get an external soon. But she doesn't like carrying too much around. thanks anyway, Blam Edit: Damn I love this forum....2 replies in 14mins:p |

| 746237 | 2009-02-09 07:16:00 | But she doesn't like carrying too much around. An 8GB flash drive ain't that big or heavy to carry around :p provided she doesn't end up losing it with sensitive documents on it. Maybe she can make a backup of some of her stuff that she doesnt need and remove it from my documents, that should free up some space for her. |

| 746238 | 2009-02-09 07:39:00 | She might do that...I suggested it but she was....less enthusiastic | Blam (54) | ||

But she doesn't like carrying too much around. thanks anyway, Blam Edit: Damn I love this forum....2 replies in 14mins:p I presume there are no applications under the O/S to create useful documents. That may make it more heavy. |

| 746240 | 2009-02-09 09:40:00 | There's a whole section on the EeeUser.com Wiki: wiki.eeeuser.com I would also recommend here: wiki.eeeuser.com Also, IIRC there's this one thread on the forums somewhere and its got a list of around 50 things that you can do to clean stuff up :) Why not get an 8GB SDHC card, the one I got almost a year ago now was only $55 at the time, and it was brilliant! :) |

| 746241 | 2009-02-09 19:28:00 | Clean out the C:\Windows\Web folder (wallpapers), \Windows\SoftwareDistribution (don't delete the folder, but delete what you can in it - this is where updates are downloaded to) and \Windows\$hf_mig$. I've done this on my Eee. Also, disable the Recycle Bin. :) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
