[QUOTE="MaryBlackwell, post: 1641896, member: 344536"] I have a lot of files that have to do with gaming that seemed to come over from my old windows 7, like BOSS and fraps, but I'm not using them, because I have nothing installed. Is it safe to delete things that are dated from 2014? I just have all this stuff that was present in windows 7 but they don't even open properly on windows 8. Can I just delete them all? They're taking up a lot of space, I think that's my problem. My actual user account, my new one is only taking up 14gb. There's also 2 folders called program files and program files (x86) do I need both? If I delete windows.old and some old game files that frees up 24gb, 38gb including my account and then another 30gb maybe for windows 8? So that's 68gb accounted for, I'm still having trouble locating the rest. Do you think there's just a bunch of files that came over with windows 7 that are taking up space, that I can't use? Is there something I can download or buy to clean this up? I'm really at a loss. [/QUOTE]
