That's the problem with most 'ready to go' Laptops.
Gigabytes of Toshiba (or whatever) junk that you are scared to uninstall in case it goes 'Boobs-up'. and no windows disc to reinstall!
My Laptop is like a snail. And I removed all the files I put on it.
One day I might pluck up courage, but then there's the partition to remove too! :mrgreen:
Don't need to remove the partition if you don't want to. The files only amount to around 7 - 10gb usually
I have a Toshiba laptop that came with Vista and all the usual bloated rubbish pre-installed.
After putting up with it for a while, I made the recovery disks as suggested so if I changed my mind I can always revert to the factory settings, then I formatted only the main "C" partition, installed Win 7 and loaded only the progs and stuff I want. That was more than 12 months ago
If you already have Win 7 then just back everything up and delete all unwanted stuff. If you're cautious, delete one at a time and check it runs ok before the next. (You have the system restore command as well to fall back on).
What I sometimes do is open task manager and disable the offending apps for a short while prior to removal as easy to reverse if any probs.
What I also do is print out all the system hardware / software details including product keys. there are a number of ways to find these, i use Win 7 manager prog which tells me all I need.
Go on - don't be a wimp - do it :lol: :lol:
