Hey tech enthusiasts! Your setup sounds like a solid start. Since you're using a small SSD with 128GB, you might want to check your file types before deleting or moving anything. There are tools available that can help identify whether a file is a system file, temporary data, or something else—so you can avoid accidental loss. Look into lightweight utilities or built-in OS features for this purpose.

Usually avoid interacting with Program Files or Windows folders on your OS drive. Folders like Users --> ***Your user name*** are generally fine. The hidden App Data folder is the exception—it won’t crash Windows but may affect installed programs, saved games, and profile settings. What files are you not sure about?

The content focuses on the functionality of the operating system itself. There are actual program files like Teamspeak, Discord, etc., present. If you manage to disable any of these applications, you can reinstall them. Be mindful of personal information such as photos and videos, which are typically stored in your own files.

It makes sense now. I thought I needed to combine it with my remarks about the App Data folder. I believed the person was aiming to prevent issues with pre-installed software during this process.
