Why is hard disk space THAT precious to you?
What are your system specs, in detail?
Processor, Speed, exact Windows version,
Especially your hard disk and partition sizes...
Attempting to deprive your system of
working space is counterproductive.
Do you live in a rural part of the Hindu Kush, or what?
Why are you THAT poor?
Maybe if you got rid of all of that anonymous posting
garbage on your system you'd have more room
for YouTube to work?
Do you have Aspergers?

People who obsess too much about small amounts
of hard disk space tend to be headed for problems.
They tend to try things they THINK are solutions
but which ultimately lead to disaster for them.
1. They usually FAIL to make proper backups to
protect them against the eventual drive failure.
2. They are tempted to delete system files that
they THINK they don't need, but which often ends badly.
3. They're often running a computer that was a
castoff and so foolishly refuse to consider spending
even $20 to buy a larger hard disk drive for it.
4. Their obsessive efforts may actually accelerate the
end of their old hard disk because of concentrated
and repetitive wear patterns.
5. Even if you're living in a rural part of the Hindu Kush,
buying an additional hard disk and making useful backups
are viable options, especially if you want to watch YouTube!
