Sorting Out Cousin's Laptop

[jazzy_dave]

Most of the morning , well roughly three hours of it, has been spent sorting out my cousin's laptop, a Toshiba one running Windows 7. He had a huge problem, not of virus infection, but lack of memory on the hard drive. specifically, all his backups have been loaded on to the data partition on the hard drive, plus some unwanted programs that ask for payment for them , whilst i know that there are decent similar utilities that are freeware and just as good.

Anyway, after using CCleaner, degfragged the hard drive, and such like, deleting unwanted programs, i have made his laptop perform better, and a bit faster.

His 128 GB hard drive has loads more space on it as well. Think i deserve a free pint for this work, and thank goodness i have no visits today until towards the middle of the week when i bus down to Sussex for my DJ gig.

Brownie points for me.

I checked the partitions between data and windows and the data was in the red with loads of backup files dating back to 2010. So i deleted the rest leaving the last one on there, used CCleaner, and defragged the drive and now it is way way better.
