When your computer is starting up press F11 i think it is. It will restore your system to day 1.

Which is the better option? I just want to delete all the memory so I can have more space on my hard drive...

[malotthouse]

i would say the f11 thing, because it doesn't take off your windows files if they are on your c:/ drive. but its your choice

Buy a Windows XP SP2 disk, pop into drive, reformat HD.

How much are those?

[bullzeye95]

Do you want to delete EVERYTHING, or everything other than windows?

[Main]

if your hard drive is under 50 gb, donate to the poor

[Cazax]

Yes, Wrong Section.

I want to delete everything but windows, can a mod move this...

1. Reboot computer
(when computer is starting up, repeatedly click F8 and it will take you to a screen where you can choose to reboot it)
2. Go to C:// drive, program files, delete everything in that folder
3. There should be another way with comand prompt that I don't know about.
4. Give away you IP address and ask some hacker to do it for you ;), jk of cource

[Davis_223]

before you start your computer put in your system restore CD or disk witch ever, and then press F11 and then there should be an option to format you computer to the way it was when you first got it or it will ask you if you want to back up your files and format your computer.

Best method is to formatt your whole drive and install TinyXP on to it.
Search for it on this forum.

[bubbagump]

Search Sytem Mechanic 7 on Google and download teh drive cleaner...it can wipe it all or just soem half deleted junk or whatever.

[bullzeye95]

If you want to delete everything but windows, your best bet is probably just to reinstall windows.

[Gumleren]

I'd do a complete reformat too. Windows and all because Windows installs, backups, copies, and places so-called temporary files (it isn't really temporary) in the Windows-folder over time.

It shouldn't take long. Pop the Windows-disc into the CD-rom-drive, go to your bootmenu (it should say which F-key to press when booting the computer) and boot from the CD, and then just follow the onscreen-instructions (you want to install Windows (not reinstall) and format the drive).

And may I suggest getting a block of RAM more? If you have any slots left in the computer that would be a great way of upgrading it without having to buy a new computer, and more RAM means a great deal to computer performance. RAM blocks aren't that costy these days.

Wrong section but hey;
Hit f11 on start-up screen then do a "destructive restore" if you want before hand save all nessaserily <(wrong spelling) then do the restore or just get more RAM :D
