Location: The state of confusion; I just use Wyoming for mail.
Just cleaned up my system drive which is a 1 TB M.2 PCIe drive. Got rid of some software that I haven't used in ages but most was games that I've finished or no longer play. I freed up ~350 GB of disk space. As to the software I removed I have the install media if I ever want to use again. As to the removed games they are all through Steam so I can also install them again if I want to play again.

I was pretty amazed at how much space I was wasting on stuff I'm not using. When you have large drives I guess you tend to not worry a lot about space but I got down to only ~79 GB free space and started looking at what was there.

Yes, the large drives will mask the fact that we're saving a whole bunch of useless data. :-P
Guilty as charged!
