What is Out-a-Space?

Are you Out of Disk Space?

Out-a-Space? is for the times when you need more disk space but can't delete any more files because you still want them or you don't know what they are.

The program only works with Windows NT disks formatted as NTFS. It will search the drive (or directory) for files you have not accesed for a specified number of days. These files may be old programs, documents or parts of programs you don't use (such as the help).

As these files are not in use they wont slow down your system if you compress them. If do need the files they are still on disk.

If I uninstall Out-a-Space?can I still access the files? YES! Windows NT does not require Out-a-Space? to be installed to access files compressed with Out-a-Space?.

This program only exposes features built into Windows NT so it is safe to use, but always do a backup first.
