All of my files are saved to an external hard drive. I guess I have too many programs.

I would really doubt that all that space is being taken up by programs. It is most likely files in your "My Documents" folder, "Desktop", RIP cahches, etc.
You can run a "disk cleanup" and see how far that gets you.
You can also clear out old files in your RIP software (it will keep a cache of the most recently used files).

I've never deleted anything from my recycle bin in probably a year or more...there's like 5 gig in there, but I've had to dig in there before, so I don't delete it till' I have to. If it were me, I'd prob. keep running till' I only had like 10 gig left. I don't do a ton of high res stuff though, just every now and then.

I gotta say you guys are probably right, since i'm retarded when it comes to this. But I think I'm going to purchase another computer for designing, and I will keep this one for a rip. Here are the programs I currently have installed:
Adobe Cs3 Suite
Flexi8-Production Manager
Mcafee
CorelX3
Versaworks
IE
OE
and many other small aps.
I think I'm overloaded. She still works great with no problems, but I'm obviously stretched too thin. Any suggestions for a new computer?

FolderSizes I got this a while back to see where the large amounts of files are allocated across our network in the office and I love it. Really helps to analyze your storage especially once you cross into the terabytes of storage and backups. They also make an application called Duplicate File Detective, and it does just that. Its amazing how many duplicates you can find sometimes.

It could also be tmp files and other "lost" files when programs shut down unexpectedly. I use these two programs to clear all unwanted junk from my machine every day or two just to keep it running smooth. CorelDraw actually smooths out when the cache is cleared, so its worth the whole 3 seconds it takes to run it.

I run multitudes of externals. Keep my main drive(s) for programs and externals for finished work. Works well. I use CCleaner as well (just google it)... does the same as those other programs, deep temp file cleans as well as registry cleans.
I'm gonna try that Cache Cleaner myself... I find Flexi gets finicky when I'm processing 2G photoshop files simultaneously while printing. I purge PS's cache regularly while I'm running it, but with that you can monitor real-time.
