Hello,

i want to get more free space on my stick so i want to remove OO Draw and Writer,
but only this and not the whole suite.
So what files should i delete?

Doesn't Work

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

thanks, ok so i have to

thanks, ok so i have to delate other apps.

Might be a bit late but here's a suggestion

I've only just stumbled across your post but I may have a suggestion

You don't say WHICH version of OOoP you have but there are a couple of methods that can be used

There is a 'slimmed down' version of v2.4 @ http://portableapps.com/node/12836
(Original size=240Mb, Slim size=109Mb)

If you have v 2.3.1 then there's an experimental 'Option Pack' @ http://portableapps.com/node/10588 that will allow you to 'remove' certain features. Note this will ONLY work with v2.3.1
(Original Size=218Mb, After applying 'OptionPack'=144Mb)

And recently I've been experimenting with manually deleting files from the 'v3 Portable Pre-Release' version found @ http://portableapps.com/node/16395

You can read what I've done (so far) @ http://portableapps.com/node/16904
(Original size=236Mb, Slimmed size (with help files)=163Mb, Slimmed size (w/o Help files)=136Mb)

Although this doesn't get rid of any unnecessary programs - it does help reduce the size stored on a Flashdrive.

One thing to note - there is no guarantee that problems will not crop up when removing certain 'Features' of a program

Hope this helps
