You can eliminate it using the reg take ownership hack, though it would cause issues. All functionality would be lost for just 50MB of space.
It's interesting to think about how many items might fail. Disabling doesn't always mean deletion, so some things remain. Thanks for your clarification!
The issue stems from using Internet Explorer for many applications that run behind scenes, requiring it to process web content. How much space is available on your disk? Several files are removed before the browser loads. Have you considered using a tool like WindstarStat to check your disk usage?

Absolutely, that's going to be a challenge. It seems like most of the storage is being consumed. I'm hoping you can get Linux running on it, as those distributions typically use less than 8GB even after installation.
Windows was updated with a fresh setup and works fine on 8GB of memory.
