will deleting 30 films from my laptop speed it up

[Special]

just wondering because after like 2 hours of my laptop being on it goes all slow and laggy and i was wondering if deleting all my films would speed it up, i have them all on disc anyway

btw all the films total 26.4gb if that helps

[jesus]

download tuneup utilities and use all the stuff on it

that'll make it faster

[Muct]

... Your sig had had me lmfaoing for the past 2 days..

O/T: The extra speed that it will give depends on the size of the movie file - the more you'll delete the faster, I guess..
But quick answer, yeah, it will.

do you even know anything about computers? the speed of the computer depends how on easily data is able to be accessed, not how much data there is being stored. go to start - all programs - accessories - disk degragmenter. run that a few times on your harddrive; it relocates data so it will be able to be accessed quicker. also downloaded 'auslogics disk defragmenter' its free and well worth it, and if high speed really is a preference also download CCleaner, its a utility which rids your computer of things such as temporary internet files and unused/broken registry edits which is pretty useful as well.

i'll try it out thanks

+rep to both

How much space do you have free? If it's more than 3GB then deleting won't do anything.

[Special]

136gb free lol

i tried that defragment program that cocaine recommended and it seems ok now

[N!ck]

Not going to make a difference.

Both TuneUp Utilities and CCleaner will help you. I used to use TuneUp Utilities a lot but have moved to CCLeaner due to the fact CCleaner is free and also TuneUp Utilities keeps forcing itself on when I don't want it, start up and so on, and so in turn can lead to slowing my computer and defeating its purpose

Luckily you seem to have fixed the issue but I would recommend a regular clean up. As well as what has been mentioned both programs I believe have a invalid registry key remover. Registry keys are important for programs but sadly often get left over when they are uninstalled and can eventually cause issues. I'd also recommend defraging both your files and also your registry (Tune Up Utilities can defrag the registry).

To actually free up space, I put all my downloads on an external hard drive, meaning I can get them when I want but they aren't stuck being useless on my main computer. I also try and only have what I need installed, and If I do have big installations, but I probably won't use in a while, I simply make sure the installations on the external, that way I can install it when I want and keep space free until then

1) Back up your data.
2) Reinstall windows.
3) Restore your data
4) ???
5) Enjoy.

Repeat as necessary.

Clean up programs are useless these days since windows now does such a good job of cleaning up after itself, the only fool proof way to speed it up is just to reinstall.

Sorry to go a bit off topic but surely it will make a difference? I mean clearly the difference will be negligible but the whatever the disk scanning algorithm may be it will have to search less of the disk and similarly in paging and segmentation it will be easier for the system to find locations on the disk to hold main memorys contents in?

So negligible there's no point doing it :P

Oh yeh sure, I just wanted to make sure I was right in the role of the disk drive in a system because if not then my brain would go into meltdown.

From what I've been told unless you get to your last 5-10GBs then you won't notice a difference in the speed of your computer. However I've had less than 2GBs left at times on Vista and I didn't notice a noticeable difference anyway.

Because vista is a peice of crap anyway.

The best thing you can do is reinstall windows i vote

[Special]

too thick to reinstall it all ty anyway though

so you take up the last 10GBs of your harddrive and you don't notice a drop in speed.. that proves vista is a piece of crap? :S

reinstalling windows will take literally a full day if you're going to restore documents and programs from backup.

Vista on the whole runs pretty well, the few problems I did have with it all seemed fixed in Windows 7 :)

No, i was saying from new vista is crap, Ask anyone, It hogs resources so bad, It is rubbish, even from new

And i just installed windows 7 again, install my most important programs, Took me an hour.
