I purchased BB2019 on HDD and installed it onto my laptop (which I regularly use) and my desktop. I also transferred some optional extra/bonus files that I've bought over the years.

My laptop drive is almost full, and I'm looking to remove some programs/files that I don't (think) I need any more, to free up some disk space.

Can anyone please advise, that I can safely remove the following BIAB files without detriment to the overall operation.

Audio Chord Wizard (don't use - installed 2019)
BB Helper (installed 2019 - don't know what it does)
BB2go (installed 2017 - a carryover from previous versions)
Songs and Lessons (installed 2018-19)
Sound Cloud (installed 2017)

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi Keith,

Before removing anything, check out my post below.

It might be that Windows is taking up much more memory for System Protection than it should.

As I indicate in the post, I had a 'full' hard drive. In the end, it turned out to be because Windows was managing badly. When I set the System Protection setting for C: to 10% of the drive's size and rebooted, I had heaps of space!

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel,
Thank you, I'll certainly give that a try.

Oh, I'm using Windows 10,so I'll have to poke around and try to find the corresponding areas.
