covered my computer melt down of this past week.
Today, I have the old hard drive in a new enclosure that will allow me to access it via a USB 3.0 cable, and it has its own power supply w/fan too.
My question is this, I've looked at the drive properties and it shows only 10.X GB open on a drive that is 980GB total (advertised as a 1TB drive).
I would like to use it as a backup drive for my pictures.
What is the easiest way to delete all the program files from the drive?
Do I just go into file manager and start clicking on a folder and hit delete?
Am I correct in thinking that after I delete all the program files I'll be able to run a disk cleanup on it like defrag to clean it all up nice and tidy?
I'm retired so it doesn't matter if it will take a while with the USB access, no one is holding a stop watch on me.
Is there a way to run the uninstaller program so I get all of the files associated with a program out?
I'm also thinking of deleting the recovery portion of the drive too to gain that space too.
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance.
