    Be VERY careful. There are thousands of programs you will need to keep just to make Windows run. And programs take up very little space, so you probably really need a bigger drive.

    Do this.

    Create new user. Make it admin. Don't transfer files (If it says that (If) ) sign into new User. Delete old user (Do not keep files) You computer should be wiped of all that. Easy way to clean up house and re-download the only programs you actually need.

    It would probably be better to buy another external hard drive, and only keep your required system files on the internal laptop hard-drive.
