Hello,
I use Win7 64bit Pro and am trying to free up space on my almost full ssd.
I've cleaned out all the temp stuff ect. and a few programs I no longer need, however, while doing this I realised a lot of space is used up by some 64bit programs in my C/rogram Files folder because the same programs (in 32bit) are also in my C/: Program Filesx86 folder. For example the C/rogram Files/Internet Explorer folder size is 29MB but in "C/rogram Filesx86/Internet Explorer" the folder size is only 9.65MB. So the is a 20MB difference between the two and the really annoying thing about this is that I never use IE anyway! I also have several other programs duplicated in the same way.and I could free up a good deal of space by getting rid of one of each.
My question is then, do I really need to have both 64bit & 32bit versions of the same program installed on my computer? And as my 64bit programs are not listed in Control Panel's Add/Remove List how do I uninstall any of them?
Thanks.
