No disk space, can I still play world of warcraft etc? Options

sleepwalker0 · 04-09-2008, 07:34 PM

Hey everyone my laptop has about 4.1 gigs left and cleaning it isn't really an option. I want to play world of warcraft on it. What's the best way to do it?

I was thinking of either installing an extra internal laptop hard drive or buying a case for one of my desktop ones and use it as an external. But I neither want to take my laptop apart nor have a bulky box to carry around.

I have good internet at home so I was thinking some kind of "virtual pc" software that I can use to connect my laptop (XP) to my pc (Vista) so I can just access WoW over the internet or LAN.

Any suggestions? Thanks

open the command line and type this, then copy/paste the results, there are lot of temp files you can get rid of.

Code:

DIRUSE /M /q:1.5 /* C:\

If diruse is not installed go here and download it and run it.

The thing is it's my dads old work laptop and he still needs to transfer over some files and delete linux. Don't want to delete anything till then but the whole hard drive is pretty small as it is.

The command line code I put in my previous post does not clean anything, it just runs a quota on the drive and displays what each folder has in it.
