Redundant technologies

Hi,

Excuse my ignorance, I am entirely self taught. I need to free up some space on my SSD. When I built my machine I installed everything I felt necessary in order to develop, test and deploy websites.

Now I am running out of space I am sure there are some microsoft technologies on my machine that I no longer use. The problem is I am not sure which they may be, maybe someone might be able to spot something I have got two of, or would no longer use.

I only use XML to store data, but was wondering if I delete the databases is a programme on my machine likely to stop working?

My computer is windows 7 x64. The programmes and technologies I most frequently use are Web Matrix, visual web developer 2010, filezilla, web platform installer, C# and Razor.

Thanks in advance.

All the big stuff you need...that's why it's big stuff. Try deleting all your porn and see if that gives you enough space.

Re: Redundant technologies

No porn or temp files. Movies, images ect. are all stored on my external drive. Perhaps I have two lots of the same "big stuff" which is just taking up space?

Re: Redundant technologies

Anyone?

Re: Redundant technologies

You might consider using something like WinDirStat or TreeSize to see where your space is actually taken up.

If you are not using SQL Server then de-install it. Visual Studio will work without it.
