I have waaaaaaaay too many kits on my computer. I'm bogged down! I'm burning some to disc today and some are just straight going in the trash. I need strength!
 
I am in the same boat and have been "doing" it for 4 days now...NOT!!! I am really scared to do it and plus I need a butload of cd's to burn all the stuff I don't trash.......................HELP ME TOO!!!!!
 
Yikes...I mean, you can do it! I sooooooooo need to do it, too. Maybe if you do it, you can talk me into it. :p
 
DO IT!!! You'll totally feel better. I did a massive overhaul a few months ago and could probably stand to do it again, lol.
 
I did it and cleared 30 gigabytes!! Just do it a little at a time. Set your goal to do all kits with the first letter of A, B and C then a little later do a few more letters and so on and so forth until you get all the way through or if you sort by designer do it by designer. I also went through each kit and deleted every element, alpha and paper I didnt think I would use.
 
Yikes!!!!!!! I have yet to do it, i keep putting it off lol...........i'm so crap at organising! Good luck!
 
Yay! You can do it! you will feel better...

I did mine a few months ago.... along with some serious organizing, and my Recent Download folder helps me alot!
 
I will be staying tuned to see how it goes, I've never done it and things are starting to get quite "busy" on my hard drive. I did consolidate some to folders by designer .... okay, good luck!
 
Come do mine!!! LOL, because I just won't :( :( I have them on my external, but I just can't take them off my hard drive! What's wrong with me??? LOL
 
Amy - once you're done, empty your recycle bin, reboot, then run a defrag. It'll help reassemble your pc and help it run a little faster after all that reorganizing :)
 
Way to go Amy! I did that a month or two ago, and it felt so good to clean stuff off that I knew I wasn't going to use! I need to do it again now... it's like cleaning the house, it never ends! (Well, it might end if I'd stop buying more stuff, but that's NOT going to happen LOL!!!)
 
When I got ACDSEE and decided I was going to go through and tag all the stuff I had... I suddenly had an amazing strength to dispose. I bet I got rid of 2/3 of it. LOL
 
I did this with all of the freebie stuff I accumulated when I first started scrapping - much of which was junk I'm sorry to say. But now I've just got good stuff to work with so almost everything's usable when I pull up a category in ACDSee. :thumbup: It does feel good!
 
Amy, I totally think you are being so brave!! It took me a long time before I actually started cleaning up my files.

I'm actually bummed because I deleted my CD burning software by accident in attempt to remove programs rarely used so that I can free up space... And now I can't look for the actual CD-ROM to reinstall it. aack!
 
Oh, I looooove deleting the old crap I don't use anymore. I never feel bad because I delete stuff I know I won't use. And I love how it feels after I clena up my HD. You can do it!
 
Good luck I just finished tagging everything in ACDSee and in the process dumped 10 GB worth of stuff!!! That first 1 or 2 deletes hurt but after that it was like BAM....BAM....BAM.... your outta here!!!! :D :D

But I will admit that everything that got trashed in on a DVD somewhere here in my office!!!! :D :D
 
It does feel good! When I first started digi scrapping I bought a ton of stuff from other places that just does not match my style anymore. I don't know exactly HOW much I cleared but it was a lot!!!! Most of it burned to disc...in case.
