   I posted these responses to somebody else some time ago   
   but I thought they would be appropriate here.   
      
      
   Why is hard disk space THAT precious to you?   
      
   What are your system specs, in detail?   
   Processor, Speed, exact Windows version,   
   Especially your hard disk and partition sizes...   
      
   Attempting to deprive your system of   
   working space is counterproductive.   
      
   Do you live in a rural part of the Hindu Kush, or what?   
      
   Why are you THAT poor?   
      
   Maybe if you got rid of all of that anonymous posting   
   garbage on your system you'd have more room   
   for YouTube to work?   
      
   Do you have Aspergers?   
      
   --   
      
   People who obsess too much about small amounts   
   of hard disk space tend to be headed for problems.   
   They tend to try things they THINK are solutions   
   but which ultimately lead to disaster for them.   
      
   1. They usually FAIL to make proper backups to   
   protect them against the eventual drive failure.   
   2. They are tempted to delete system files that   
   they THINK they don't need, but which often ends badly.   
      
   3. They're often running a computer that was a   
   castoff and so foolishly refuse to consider spending   
   even $20 to buy a larger hard disk drive for it.   
      
   4. Their obsessive efforts may actually accelerate the   
   end of their old hard disk because of concentrated   
   and repetitive wear patterns.   
      
   5.  Even if you're living in a rural part of the Hindu Kush,   
   buying an additional hard disk and making useful backups   
   are viable options, especially if you want to watch YouTube!
