Earlier this year, I wrote a little program in DOS Batch language, to remove the junk files off of my HD (SSD).
But till today I didn't really attack the BLOAT of useless apps included in Win-11 by Microsoft. The subject came up in another thread, where it was suggested to use Revo Uninstaller to get rid of the unwanted apps.
So I decided to give it a try. WOW, I didn't realize just how much bloat is included in Windows 11.
The only reference point I had available was my Cleanup batch file that I ran on Cinco de Mayo. The number of files on my SSD (C: drive) that day was 1,773,181.
Today after I cleaned out a bunch of unwanted apps, I ran the file count again and it was down to just 505,674. Bottom line, I had removed 1,267,507 files.
That takes a huge load off of my SSD and my file control system.
My PC may even boot up faster, and scans and backups will be faster.
Cheers Mates! Happy Computing!
