| Search your
system for *.zip and *.avi files(and other types of video files you
might have ) , and delete the ones you don't need. Zips files are
tipically left over from internet downloads. Once application is
installed, you probably don't need the ZIP fille it was packaged in.
Video files also take up quite a bit of space. For example, you can
regain 7 MB of precious space by deleting the *.avi files from your
C: windows\help folder. |
