how can changing my user name give me more free space on my computer?

Question

looking for free space

Answer 1

i dont know if you save space from chaning your user name but some simple ways to save a little memory is by (using windows xp i imagine) goto Start> Control Panel> Performance and Maintenance> under pick a task click on free up space on hard disk. under that you can also do disk defragment.

Answer 2

Changing your account name will increase space because all the files from the old name will stay in place.

If you need more space, do a disk cleanup. Click on My Computer, right click on the c-drive - select properties and then click on disk cleanup. It will tell you what you can safely remove. Let it do the cleanup. Make sure you uncheck compress old data. This is unlikely to save significant space and will take a long time to accomplish.

Answer 3

One quick and easy way to gain some disk space is to change your Recycle Bin settings.

RIGHT CLICK on the Recycle Bin Icon, then click on PROPERTIES and change it from the default 10% to 1%.

At 10%, if you have a 200 gigabyte drive it's using 20 GIG for the Recycle Bin!
