Title: Left over files
Post by: Tina on May 23, 2012, 16:36:25
I was checking over my comp last night, and I have 124 left over files from applications I have deleted. I looked into downloading a programme that can get rid of them, but I also read that they can be bad for your comp.

How can I safely get rid of these left over files please? Also I have 11.8 GB of space left from a 165 GB capacity. Is that really bad? Thanks for yor help :)

You can safely dump them Tina, in most cases. For safety sake you could ZIP them and leave them in place for a week or two to see if anything complains.
