Should I reformat new HDD

by jasonemmg . Updated 13 years, 10 months ago

Just purchased a Dell i660 with a 1TB HDD and an internal HDD to add once computer is up and running.

I’m thinking of formatting the HDD to remove all the extra programs Dell and others install that I do not really want or plan on using once I do my initial backup..

Is it really necessary to go through this time consuming process or just uninstall the programs via Control Panels Uninstall Program option?

Thanks.
J
