#30 Weeding the Files from M and Z drives

I did find that I was pretty organized. There was very little of my stuff on the M drive that needed to be deleted. I tend to use it for storage of stuff I am certain I will need and files that need to be accessed by others in the dept.

My Z drive was a little more work. I had a Projects Completed file that had about thirty items, some of which were left over from my first months at HCPL. I deleted files that were duplicated on M. I kept templates for recurring projects, but deleted 2005 and 2006 files. In the end, I was left with only one folder and two word docs out of the thirty items, so was able to move those out into My Documents and delete the Projects Completed file entirely.

On the M drive, we have Branch Profile files going back to 2002. These are fairly big files (7 - 8 MB each). I'm thinking that 2002 thru 2005 could be moved to CD and deleted. Of course I will need the Selection Specialists permission to do this.
