    Hello, I got my T60 weeks ago..
    I got the 100gb 7200rpm harddrive, but I am running out of space.
    I have 86gb total but have 10 gb left even though I have about 55gb of stuff
    Where did the 20gb go?

    Also, here is a list of programs I do not use. Can I delete them?
    PC-Doctor 5
    On Screen Display
    Help Center
    ThinkPad UltraNav Utility
    ThinkPad Modem(I will never use Modem)

    I would like to delete them if they have no critical value in the performance of my laptop.
    Also, can I delete all of the Thinkvantage software?
    Are they critical?
    Thanks in Advance

    I would leave everything except for PC-Doctor, the others won't hurt your performance and you may need them.

    You may save 20MB by deleting everything else but take my advice it's better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them.
