    Besides deleting programs, what else can I safely delete on my C drive, to free up space?

    Please see screenshot below. Don't ask me to buy a new HD, or turn off Hibernate. I MUSTN'T delete Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop; Microsoft Office; Nuance NaturallySpeaking; or Steam.

    Why does 'Powercfg -requestsoverride Driver "Legacy Kernel Caller" System' fail to hiberate my laptop?

    Please see the screenshot beneath: my 4 inputs failed to solve the difficulty identical to this post. When I tried to 'Hibernate' after inputting it, my laptop still failed to hibernate. Here's my energy-report.html. Wake Timers have been disabled:

    Why do the same programs appear on both C and D? How can I safely remove the copies on D?

    My drive C is a SSD. Drive D is a 5400 RPM HDD. I don't need to physically disconnect the D drive, correct? I can merely disable or Spin Down the D drive with mouse clicks? Yes. I recently upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10. You're correct. I never deliberately installed programs on...

    How to concurrently, efficiently remove repeated instances of the same text in a PDF?

    This purchased PDF (that I didn't create) repeats the text, underlined in green, under each diagram. Undeniably, deleting each instance one by one is too inefficient! How can I delete this text productively, synchronously, at one fell swoop?

    Safe to delete Apps.ppkg?

    The following's copied and pasted from https://superuser.com/q/1659902. ――――― I must reduce HD disk space. How safe is deleting Apps.ppkg? Its size is 3.6 GB. I use Windows 10. I must double check because another program file usmt.ppkg MUST NOT be deleted. I read this abstruse explanation of...
