Format or Uninstall and Defrag.

Anything you format goes bye bye.

Just uninstall what you don`t want, run Ccleaner to cleanup the registry (it`s totally safe) then defrag the drive 2 to 3 times, more if still necessary.

Bill, you have 53 posts, when you get to 5,300, then you can comment on my advice, Thank You :)

Because I have used Ccleaner for years, never had an issue with it, and no one I know here ever has, I do not give out bad advice.

I did not say registry cleaners, I said Ccleaner, I would never suggest somehting I haven`t used for a very long time.

All it does is remove invalid keys and duplicates. Learn before you mock.

Come on man :)

Thank You for the backup Berton

Ccleaner is a great program. I use it daily. Normal default setting to clean junk works great. Never had a problem with it doing the clean.

Ccleaner has the safest Registry Cleaner I know of but because it does do things to the registry one should check what it finds before removing things from the registry. I use the Registry portion seldom just because I don't need to.

Ccleaner also has a backup request before cleaning the registry and I recommend backing up when it request it. No program is perfect all the time so the backup is a smart move.

I have never had Ccleaner hurt any of my systems and I have used it for years.

I would never recommend any other program that fools with Windows 7 registry.

***What ever program one uses and I don't care what it is, you need to learn how to use it correctly.

I have also used Ccleaner for years although I do not allow it to delete anything unless I know what is being deleted. I have to look at everything that's being deleted before I allow the process and most users out there don't know to do that.

I use CCleaner registry cleaner. I sometimes do a quick review then let it do the clean. I ALWAYS let it make a backup of what it is removing just in case but in years of use have never had to restore what CCleaner deleted.

Thanks for the support everyone.

As I said Bill, after you rack up 5000 posts, you are more then welcome to give advice.

Until that time, please keep your comments to the original poster, Thank You for your concern and apology :)

Many things on this forum people disagree on but we disagree politely.

I don't think their is a need to defrag a hard drive sever times one right the other.
In my opinion is just a lot of wear and tear on a hard drive.

AddRAM and I disagree but that is okay.
