I have a hp laptop and says I have about 7% free space, the guy I got it from said I cannot add anymore memory, is this true, what files or programs can I delete to gain some free space?

whats that got to do with memory? Anyways uninstall programs you dont use clean up your My Documents My Muisic My Videos, and do a system clean such as cahce, cookies, history... and so on... i did that and got almost 1 GIG back... just by cleaning out the old TEMP internet files... empty ur recyle bin bring what you can put in it down... this will free up space... try a diff OS system... get a smaller one like 2000 or ME

How much space did you have to begin with? You could burn alot of data to a cd. Then delete it from the computer. Things like songs or pictures can be burned to a cd. As for programs, you have to look at the ones you do not use. Generally these do not take up that much space. Do you take your laptop out of the house? If not an external hhard drive may be what you want to do. I have a Western Digital 500 GB external hard drive I had to format it in NTFS to work with windows XP. So if you are at home alot with it you could save alot of things on that and when you take it out just leave it home. So for someone to say you can not add memory is very hard to believe. Best of luck.

keep hp support, get rid of the other hp programs, aol, microsoft money, internet sign up, quick finence, etc. just about anything you dont use any more, including some old games that you dont play anymore, and old movies that you have already burnt on to dvd's
not to argue with the guy above me, but the cache files are automacticlly deleted every month, and 1 gig isn't all that much, barely enough to fit one movie in, my method will probally fetch you about 5 to 15 gigs depending on what you get rid of
