    Bought this new laptop at Christmas, and I believe I have deleted most of the unnecessary crap off it.

    How do I know what other programs I can get rid of that aren't needed?

    If you really want to do a good cleaning, do a clean install. There are multiple guides here.

    You won't believe the difference this can make.
