I've got a large disk (500GB) but am deciding to free up space - got 249GB left, so that's 49.8% of the disk left, if my calculations are right.
I'm planning on install of Adobe Photoshop and (possibly) graphic design apps, so have decided to free up some space. I also have a local WAMP install for testing too.
Also stored are some films - around 3-4GB, saved from DVB-TV install.
Using WinRAR I plan to compress the original folders, which are named:
HTML backups (my original HTML files that I made for testing purposes - that's over 2 GB)
Public domain images (mainly JPEGs, some GIF and PNG)
I could use WinRAR, compress them to HTML_backups.rar and Public_domain_images.rar, then delete the original folders using CCleaner for disk cleanup - is this a good solution?
I do have a USB hard drive but that's for business, not personal use, so I'm keeping the two seperate.
Basically, will this save me disk space - if I'm right, I can unzip the folders using WinRAR/7-Zip if I need to access a file/folder, then delete it when done but they're still backed-up?
Any help/advice much welcomed!
