Question about 'What to Throw Away'

Is it safe to delete memory.dmp from the windows directory? It takes up about
500MB so it would be nice to get rid of it!
Thanks

It's only used by programmers and people who know how to debug programs, or need
to send the debugging info to MS in this case. Yes, you can delete it and you can
also turn off the memory dump or set it to dump only a short abbreviated amount of
data. Control Panel> system> advanced> startup and recovery> settings> write debugging
information box> (drop down box to select the type of memory dump or non at all).

I have a computer that I am using till I can get mine. It has 4gig HD, and the person
that gave this to me installed Win XP Prol .It constantly shows low disk . I need
to delete 200MB of files. Can you. I read what to do for windows 98 and I am not
sure what previous OS was used. I need to know what I can safely delete. I have
gotten rid of all programs that I could. I use this for research on the internet
only.How do i turn off windows update. It started showing low disk space after the
updates started. I could not update win service pk 2. I do not store vital information
in the system so I am not so worried about this. I need this for important research
for an often fatal disease. Sorry I could not keep this short. I used Nortons and
other than that I only have the programs I need to surf the net.

You may want to consider installing a smaller OS as well. Find someone with Win95
or 98 to loan you to disk so you can have more space on this research-only box
