These are what I would remove if it were my machine.

First stab... Remove the HP stuff from your Asus machine

It's not much space, but other than Help and Photo Creations, they are not needed.
You could move the actual help documents to an external Thumbdrive

Do you use Photo Creations? It looks as though it was just put on the machine.

I'll look down the list and offer other thing I would remove - it's your decision to remove or keep anything on your system.

 

Apart of Photo Creations, that is software and drivers for the HP Envy 4500 printer. I would not uninstall the printer from my system.

 

you're correct, Kari, it is a printer.

+edit
An HP Printer on my HP machine does not show all of the install pieces for the printer in P&F.
I simply connected the printer and let Windows Update provide the drivers ... I did not use a disc or download media.
I don't have any bloatware, Devices and Printers does present Snapfish and HP total care (to sell more ink!)

And, Win10 was a clean install, so there was no migration of software.
-edit

Thanks

 

I agree with @Kari about NOT uninstalling your printer drivers & software, unless you do not plan to use the printer from this computer.

From a security standpoint, not a space-saving one, I strongly suggest upgrading your 7-zip to version 16.02.
The version shown in your log is outdated & unsafe.

>>Since you pruning software to the bare bones to save space on a small drive, perhaps it might be feasible to replace the hard drive with a larger HDD or SSD?
>>Just a thought....

MM

 

I didn't add photo creations. Is seems to have appeared after windows 10 update. I will uninstall that.

 

That is bundled software, comes with the HP printer software. it is totally safe to uninstall.

 

How do I upgrade the 7 zip to 16.02?

 

Pick the second one on the list...

7-Zip

 

Thanks.
I'm here right now on my Android phone & pasting links is a pain.

*Wink

Cheers,
MM

 

I gave up trying that a long time ago! *chuckle Oh, BTW, she has an SSD, not HDD.......your post #18

 

True.

Oops, I forgot.
Thanks for reminder.

I'll bow back out now.
Just wanted to notify about that old, vulnerable 7zip.*Smile

Cheers,
MM

 

Thanks MM done that.
Can I not move stuff to my external hard drive Touro to gain space?

 

Lizzy, have you ever run a disk cleanup? The built in Windows cleanup. If you go to My PC, right click the "C" drive, choose properties, you should get a box like this. Please post a screenshot of the display.....

 

It might be easier to do a Clean install and only install the software you use.

Windows Update takes care of 98% of the drivers, so you don't have to worry about those.
If after a clean install there are any devices flagged in Device manager, then you cna find the drive on Asus or the device manufacturer's support page.

I don't recall seeing that much in Pgms & Feats, so I connected my HP printer and let Windows Update provide the driver.
Nothing showed up in Pgms & Feats - all the extras do show up in Devices and Printers.

I'm just wondering if Lizzy is adding in extra stuff by using an install package or if the extra stuff carried over from the previous OS. Either way, a clean install would weed out the OEM bloat.

I'd like to see the Pgms & Feats after a clean install, letting Windows manage the drivers. I'm certain it would be ... well cleaner.
