What is the best way to uninstall everything?

What is the best way to uninstall everything?  Other than doing a reformat and OS reinstall?

Why am I wanting to uninstall everything?  because I feel like my laptop's harddrive is too small for everything and trying to figure out how to conserve space by uninstalling everything and then reinstalling just what I need.

Uninstalling the application is not much use, you need it, the content directory would be the worst disk hog I would think, just look through your contents in DIM and remove the things you do not need, just be aware that just "uninstall" content will still keep the downloaded zip files in your c:\Users\Public\Documents\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\ or where ever you have it.

If you have a lot of content and is on Windows you could always compress the content directories, it can actually do a lot, often 40-50% compression or more, just right click on the directory in an explorer folder and click on "Advanced" at the bottom and check compression, you can see how much it is actually using on disk so you can check if it is of any use, don't use it on the InstallManager\Download directory, zip files cannot be compressed much so it will not do anything good there, but the content directory it can make wonders and no it will not kill performance, it have very little impact at all.
