Hello, guys, I know you are all kindhearted, and I am confident that you will give me the best answer!Recently, I found that my WINXP is running more and more slowly, and I was told that the hard drive is filled with the data and all kinds of files, even the rubbish, I don't know how to deal with it, and I am not a computer expert. Is there anybody can help me? Or can you give me some advice about the operation? Thanks in advance!1 person needs an answerI do too

Hello hello2012The ideal solution would be to buy a larger hard disk and use a cloning program like XXClone to copy the existing disk.If, for some reason, it’s not possible to buy a larger disk, here are a few space saving ideas:1. If your PC is behaving properly you can remove the hidden Windows hotfix backup files that begin with $NTUninstallKB from the WINDOWS folder. Be aware that once they are removed you will not be able to uninstall the updates that they represent.There are two ways to do it:A. Manually, but copy the folders to a CD/DVD first to allow their restoration should a fix need to be later removed. Now delete them from the \WINDOWS folder but leave the orphaned Add or Remove Programs entries intact. Only delete the $NTUninstallKB folders that relate to fixes not those for applications like Word, WMP, etc. Also, DO NOT DELETE THE $hf_mig$ folder.B. My preference is to run a script which additionally removes the corresponding entries in Add or Remove Programs. Once they are removed by the script, they cannot be restored. Download, extract and run this little scripthttp://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_hotfix_backup.htm Create a system restore point first just in case anything goes wrong during the registry updating.2. Run Disk Cleanup to remove unwanted files. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup.3. Reduce the space allocated to system restore, click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore > Settings (in the left pane) > System Restore Tab > Settings and in the left pane move the slider to the left to reduce the space allocated.4. Reduce the space allocated to the Recycle Bin, right-click it > Properties and change the amount of space allocated.5. If you don't use Hibernation you can save yourself the equivalent in hard drive space as RAM you have installed by turning it off, i.e. right-click Desktop > Properties > Screen Saver Tab > Power at the bottom > Hibernate Tab and remove the tick from ‘Enable Hibernation’.6. Uninstall any programs that are no longer used. Also remove unwanted Windows components (in the left pane of Add or Remove Programs).7. Although not huge, you can delete all the files in C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\DataColl that have an extension of XML. Also delete the Event Viewer files via Start > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > highlight Application > Action > Clear All Events then click No to the “Do you want to save..... “ question. Repeat the above by highlighting and deleting the other categories: Security, System, Internet Explorer and Windows Power Shell.
