if youre low on space, the 50MB that IE probably amounts to is going to do very little for you.

Download windirstat and run the scan on your C:\ drive.

You cannot uninstall IE. The European version of windows 7 will alow you to do this when it comes out, but otherwise, no.

You can get rid of it by going to Add/Remove Program Files. You'll have to remove the IT updates one by one.

I wouldn't advise it though. 50MB is nothing. As much as I hate IE, I only like to keep a back up.

FIREFOX FTW!
