Does this do a better job than Windows Disc Cleanup?

Can you save it to an external drive to save space?

I mean save the backups too, to an external drive. One last question, you must have a huge machine. I just bought a 560 and am wondering to what % is safe to run normally. I think my connect is slow because I'm on plain dial-up. I am already at 75% and have not downloaded the games I wanted yet.

It took that long to watch this video and more since I commented at 2-3 minutes into it.

Hi JoAnne :-)

Yes. It does a better job than Windows Disc Cleanup.
Yes, you can save the backups to an external drive.
I am a bit unclear to the other questions. I am not sure what model the “560” is? Is it a brand like HP or eMachines? I am not sure what percentage you are talking about?

What % free disc space and A Dell, I bought it at Heartland for $220 something, so it is a cheapie.

The % of free disk space depends on how much junk the previous owner put on it. If the previous owner took care of it well it might only be about 1%. If the previous owner put a lot of junk on the computer and didn't maintain the PC it could be over 20%.

Wow, well I'm not sure if it's used since I had to actually go into the bios to enable Drive C in order to boot. Whatever I can't seem to post to gather. My friend said I may need a download but hasn't gotten back to me yet.
