need to get rid of stuff on my laptop
The best way to do that is by doing a factory recovery which will re-install what was on the computer when it was first purchased. Remember to copy your data to another drive or to DVD/CD before doing the recovery as it will erase everything that's currently on the hard drive.
Reinstall windows with your recovery disk. Only backup stuff you want, don't back up everything as that will include the junk.
