    How often do you "Disk Cleanup"

    My computer came with very little hard drive space (75.6 GB) or something like that (and like 5 or 6 years old). So I do a lot of installing/uninstalling games. Every time after I uninstall a game I use the Disk Cleanup feature.

    So, just out of curiosity, how often do you do it?

    (Yes, I do realize I should buy a new computer. I just don't have any cash.)

    Edit: (Yes, it is a Dell)

    Did you never though of getting another hardrive, an extern one possibly?

    75.6 GB sounds to be a real drag to deal with, though I somehow doubt it is your go-to PC when you play games or use other more "high-profile" utilizations.

    I did have an external. It broke though. Terribly.

    Also, this is my only PC.

    Well, a new external harddrive isn't that expensive nowadays and normally they tend to last quite a bit. I got a 700 GB external myself to help out the 160 GB internal hardrive space on my laptop, I don't know exactly how much it was, though I have the number 70€ dancing around in my head. It is doing a good service so far (got myself an eSATA adapter so I got better data-streaming and speed than with USB connectors, too).

    I think I do my disk cleanup whenever I do some installation or maintenance on my computer and that would be at least a month or more in between.

    I tend to use disk cleanup once every 2 weeks.

    I use CCleaner instead of the default disk cleanup.

    theres almost no need on a modern system- to use disk cleanup. Mind you I also run 2 HDDs, (1 2TB, 1 640GB), space is abundant, unless your using SSDs

    Use Torrents? I know what you have downloaded. click my sig for proof
