How do I free a specific amount of disk space on a
drive?
If you need a specific amount of disk space on one of your drives, click
SpaceMaker in the UnInstaller screen and tell the SpaceMaker wizard how
much space you want, what kind of files it can delete, and whether you want
it to make compressed backup copies of the files. Then let it free space for you.
Choose the SpaceMaker wizard to:
• Quickly create free space on one of your drives.
You can specify the drive and the amount of space you want to free. As

files. If you choose to free as much space as possible, the wizard continues
to delete files until it can find no more files that are old enough to delete in
the categories you have chosen.

bitmap and multimedia files, backup files that have the .BAK extension,
temporary files that Windows or Windows applications generate, screen
savers, online help files, and so on.

specified by the SpaceMaker page of the Settings dialog box. The default

compressed backup uses less disk space than the deleted files, and gives
you a chance to recover deleted files later. Each time you run the
SpaceMaker wizard, you can turn off backups or specify a different
location for the backups.
