    Dell r#######.exe driver files are uncompressed to C:\DELL\ by default, once those drivers are installed is it okay to delete that folder. Mine is taking up almost 600mb that would be nice to take back.

    Yes you can delete that folder but bear in mind that if you need to reinstall a driver, you will have to redownload it from Dell's website or use the driver CD that came with your laptop. No biggie.

    Nice laptop btw :)

    Thanks everyone for the quick replies. I am going to go ahead and delete the folder - 600mb on my SSD is valuable space to get back.

    Best regards,
