I’ve been struggling for a few months with space on my notebook. XP has a nice emergency clean-up facility to do stuff (deleting temp files, compressing stuff), but bottom line, I’ve got space issues.<\/p>\n

Digging a bit deeper, and using some downloaded disk scanners, I’ve managed to clean off enough bits to go from 150Mb to over 5Gb free (on my 60Gb drive). I burned some large video files to disk, deleted installation files, goods tuff like that. The effort also included deleting some old Outlook Express mail folders, and my CoH Test server installation (from the CoV beta). That should help. For a while. <\/p>\n

Problem is, I know where a huge chunk of the space is going:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I have many, many, many Gb of MP3 files. Basically, our whole CD collection. Nothing to be done about that without some major strategic planning. Maybe a small external drive (that I could carry with me) to dump the music to and then plug it in when I wanted it.\n
  2. I have many Gb of digital photos, too. Some of this is duplicated here and there, and I need to spend an afternoon archiving stuff to disc and cleaning up the rest. Maybe Friday. Hah.<\/ol>\n

    But I seem to be working for the nonce, so that’s all good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
