Solved Deleting windows built in User Accounts

[Britjoe]

I have a SDD and my 60GB is kinda down to 6gb of space left, I seen a slight speed decrease and I assume its because the hard drive is running short of available space,
I clean up my deleted files etc often,

Ive noticed there are user accounts that are hidden:

homegroup
aspnet
guest
My account(The only account I ever use)
administrator

can any of these account be deleted to save HardDrive Space
or is it time for a bigger SSD HD

Hello Joe,

Other than your user account, the others are system accounts and/or groups that Windows 7 uses to run Windows 7. Deleting them will most likely end in you having to reinstall Windows 7, so do not delete them.

Here's something to look at to help find what is taking up space on your HDD to allow you to possibly reduce some of it to help save space. In addition, you could also use a free program like WinDirStat to help see exactly what is using up your hard drive's space.

Hope this helps,

You can also move all of your data files to, if I read correctly, the 6TB of HDD space you have, and save the SSD for your OS. This tutorial has some steps outlined for doing that.

Then you should stay around 20GB with only your OS on the SSD and you will notice little if any performance hit.
