    Thanks for the CCEnhancer tip!

    I have my initial cleaned snapshot set up with an SP1 installation at 8.3 GB. Very nice IMHO :)

I decided to move all of my data files under a primary folder to make backing up my personal data files easier. I did a check before and after of my free space and surprisingly, my free disk space has more than doubled after doing this (and I did not delete any files, nor did I empty my Trash after...
