[DrCyd]

Just cleaning up the machine. Do I really need these user guides, do they bog the system, can they be uninstalled

Keep the User Guides.

If you believe that they take up too much space then move the User Guides to somewhere else but leave accessible.

Sometimes when there is a problem the details will matter and without the Guides there could be no other way to check things.

You may be able to go online and retrieve the Guides - may or may not be viable. Lenovo may discontinue the guides for older products. Or newer versions may not apply to your build.

Also, I would not rely on being able to get online.

Plus there are a number of online "manual" websites that often trip AV warnings, fake "you must call" notices etc.. Avoid.

My recommendation: simply collect all such guides and documents in a well-identified folder and save.

As a loose rule, I tend to print out a few of the key pages for hard copy reference.

When there is a problem, the information you need will likely be in the Guides.

Remember Mr. Murphy.
