That was fun now, wasn't it….
You have your "Registry", and your disk space (on your "C:" drive).
Removing something from the registry (entries for a program) doesn't remove the folders and files on the C: drive the program uses.
To reclaim (or recycle) the disk space, you have to remove the folders on the C: drive.
The registry grows and shrinks as needed. Besides removing unnecessary entries, there's not much you can do about it's size.
I hope that answers your question.
You're talking about two totally different "spaces" here.say in add/remove programs a file says it takes up 9mb for example, so when you delete something out the registry, does that sort of recycle the space like a recycle bin? So you aren't losing memory?

I'm going for an apprentiship in computing tomorrow. Hopefully i'll be asked to come back for an interview. hope that gets me into the IT world, so i need to make sure i'm fairly knowledgable.
Anyways, on topic, thanks once again, it's apprichiated
