What to ditch? Can someone please guide me as to how to clear out the excess clutter/trials that came with it?

Keep the battery installed but keep it plugged in whenever possible. That way you will (1) minimize the number of charge/discharge cycles on the battery, which is the main criteria in maximizing how long the battery will last before you need to replace it, and (2) you'll start with a full charge whenever you need to use it unplugged. Taking the battery out multiple times will also eventually wear out the battery contacts. Actually, I don't know if this particular netbook will even work with the battery out, some won't, but definitely leave the battery installed.

I empty it out every single load. You can probably get two loads, unless it is something that produces a lot of lint.

Download Revo Uninstaller (it's free, do a Google search for it) and follow the steps.

Use goo gone and a playing card,you might need about 10 cards and a cloth towel to clean up the rest

For the cost of S/H you could have mine. I found the whole thing pretty wimpy and it just sits there taking up space.

There's always bloatware, you just have to remove it. Being a Linux user I just blow away everything and not worry about it. If you use Windows "add/remove" in control panel is your friend.

I really think that any money spent on any Dell gadget is like down to drain , any way just try to remove some applications from the memory. Hopefully it will solve the problem

How do I use this thing? My daughter set it up, and there are no instructions for use. So, how do I pack up my computer -- I see nothing on the

My suggestion would be to reduce the size of the paging file (your computer is probably using hard drive space as temporary RAM). You have 1 Gig, so you shouldn't need more. Just go to control panel and find "system." (You might want to switch to classic view to find it faster.) Click "advanced" and then click "settings" under "Performance." Click the second tab there, "Advanced" and then there's a bit at the bottom labeled "Virtual memory." It'll say how much your machine is using. Click "change." Make sure the C drive is selected, then put in number in the custom size fields (initial and max); 50 or 100 should be fine. Make sure to click "set" and then "OK" and you're done. This happened to me on my eee and I couldn't figure out how I kept running low on disk space when I don't save anything on the C drive, until I discovered this resources hog. Again, since this machine comes with 12 Gigs of RAM, you shouldn't really need to waste harddrive space supplementing that. (If you want more RAM, go spend $25 at Circuit City for another 1 gig stick.) Good luck, I hope that resolves the problem. :) You can also search the forums at eeeuser.com for more tips on slimming your Windows down and getting rid of programs you don't need and such.

Run something like CCleaner or other disk cleaning defragging software to delete files you don't even realize you have. Delete unused files, pics, etc. that you don't need anymore. There are no add-ons to increase your space unless you want to add another physical disk.

Why buy yet another BIG freestanding machine when I already have this one. Space is running low...

Before I moved, I cleaned out my files and used mine for 4 hours. I would have to stop and empty it, but used it pretty continuously.It still works. I just wish it were larger.

There will be nothing on the hard drive left. Its wiped clean. You'll have to reinstall with new software.

You can delete them or transfer them to a computer via USB. Then you can add more.

To be honest with you, I ended up getting rid of it. I had the same problem and nothing seemed to fixit! Yes, it was a very bad deal, at least in my experience. Never again!

Honestly, you probably did nothing wrong. I had the same problem. I ended up throwing the whole thing in the trash along with the extra filters I bought with it.
