What can I remove from my computer?

Question

Hi, I recently bought an HP Pavilion DV6000.

It came loaded with a bunch of c**p on it that I don't think I need, but the only problem it that I don't know what I can and can't delete as I'm no computer expert (or should I say I don't know what I should or shouldn't delete).

Here are some screenshots of the programs I have:

Thanks in advance! =]

Answer 1

Hard to say - I don't know recognize most of this, but then again, I don't even know what you intend to use the computer for.  If it's "trial ware" (programs you can use for a short time and/or in limited use) you can safely get rid of that.  Even if you find you really wanted it later on, you'd still pay the same amount.

Answer 2

You don't appear to have too many programs that are not basic. I would download a cleaner. This one is freeware and I use it. I would watch your Programs for last used dates in a few weeks to see what you are using, and then make decisions to remove or not.
