Hello
I have a tablet computer that I bought a number of years ago, from Hewlett-Packard (there's no name on the device so I have no idea what model it is). It runs Windows 8.1, and it's got a total storage of 20 GB. Space is running out, and I could not figure out where that space hog was, until I discovered that the C:\windows\ folder takes up 19 GB of space. A tip from some web site to disable hibernation gained me 1.5 GB, but still... is it normal for Windows to take up 99% of the disk? (depends on the disk, I suppose)
So, is there any way to reduce the size of Windows so that it takes up a more reasonable amount of space (say, 12-15 GB instead of 17.5 GB)? I checked the "add/remove" dialog to see if there are Windows features that I can miss, but there doesn't seem to be any overly large features installed. There are no restore points either (restore point creation is off).
Thanks
Samuel
