Freeing Up Space on My Hard Drive. Windows Vista

Simply put, no hard drive can keep up. Now I have 200 Gigs. It filled up just the same. External hard drives bore me, either they have cables or they weigh more than the computer or they are too small or you have to have 10 of them…

Put everything in the cloud. Excellent….only I don't have internet everywhere. Not even at home. (I live in the countryside). Anyway. After crying about it. Some tricks to clean up the disk that Shanlseman passes along to us. Here in English.

The one I liked the most:

Remove the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 installers.

Open the command console, (Search CMD), as administrator, (right mouse button, Run as Administrator), run the vsp1cln command, follow the instructions on the screen. (Basically tell it yes, that you want to delete the installer, even though afterwards you won't be able to uninstall Windows Vista SP1).
