Left over files

Tina · May 23, 2012, 16:36:25

I was checking over my comp last night, and I have 124 left over files from applications I have deleted. I looked into downloading a programme that can get rid of them, but I also read that they can be bad for your comp.

How can I safely get rid of these left over files please? Also I have 11.8 GB of space left from a 165 GB capacity. Is that really bad? Thanks for yor help

You can safely dump them Tina, in most cases. For safety sake you could ZIP them and leave them in place for a week or two to see if anything complains.
