Whats the fastest way to delete the most amount of disk space?

For Windows users,

Go to your START MENU > Click on Settings > Click on Control Panel > Double Click on Add/Remove Programs

You will want to go through this list and find programs that are not being used that you don’t mind uninstalling. Just click on what you’re wanting to uninstall, and click the button “Remove/Uninstall” and you’re usually good to go. Avoid uninstalling Windows Components, as they may be more necessary than you may know.

Other than this, remove larger files such as MPEG and Video media files. If you’ve got a large directory of pictures that you really don’t need, you can either burn them to a CD/disk drive, host them online somewhere (not the safest route,) or otherwise delete them. Instead of deleting the files individually, you can click on the directory itself (the directory is the file that contains the individual pictures,) and press the “Delete” button on your keyboard… You can also achieve this by right-clicking and hitting “Delete.” It will ask you if you really want to send X number of items to the Trash Bin. You will affirm this.

Finally, there’s the option to Reformat your Hard Drive, but in the given instance I assume that’s not what you’re going to want to do. World of Warcraft expansions usually run in the area of 1.5-3GB of memory if I recall correctly, so you’re going to want to clear up in that volume of space.

To check the volume that is left open, you can double-click on “My Computer” (or find it in your Start Menu depending on your version of Windows and your Desktop Theme,) and go to the Disk Drive you want to check. Hover the mouse over it, and right click. Select “Properties” from the drop down menu, and you will see a pie chart that shows used area versus unused volume.

Hope this helps.

OK. If you use Windows you could download my little utility Dirlot http://soft.km.ua/soft/dirlot/index.en.html. It shows interactive folder size report.

So if you need to free up some space on hard disk then start the utility and go to the root folder of some partition (C:\, D:…). Thus you will get diagram showing relative size of its subfolders. Select the folder that takes the most space and dig deeper until you define individual files that have big size and take the most space. If you do not need them anymore then delete them. Repeat the procedure if needed.

Doing this way you will be deleting just the files that are really big without paying much attention to lesser ones which even being deleted do not free much space on disk.

And I beg pardon for my English but hope you have cought what I mean.

try defraging and delete any unused apps or format your hard drive and it will be all clean but DO NOT do that if you dont know what your doing of by another hard drive and hook it up

WoW is more important than your other files I imagine, so make a recovery CD using imgburn and only add the files you can’t live without, reformat the drive with that CD. Also, if you can get 40 bucks, you can buy a sea gate 80 GB external hard drive, hook it up to your USB port, when it’s recognized right click on the folder, select format from the drop-list. Format to NTFS. Now download WoW, or any apps you’d like and run them straight from the kitty. Make sure this drive is powered by a strip, and not removed or de-powered. As NTFS it will run apps like your normal hard drive.
