    hi guys i'm trying to reduce the amount of guff in my list of installed programs. all below were part of the factory install image and i'm not sure which are 'essential' to keep

    alienautopsy
    alienrespawn
    alienrespawn support centre
    alienware customer surveys
    alienware digital delivery
    alienware on screen display
    intel management engine components
    intel rapid storage technology
    nvidia update 1.11.3
    nvidia physx system software
    st microelectronics 3 axis digital accelerometer

    i'm not confident in doing a clean install so removing all or some of the above would be the next best thing for me.

    Keep those, Autopsy is for hardware tests, Respawn is for recovery, OSD for the FN keys, Intel ones are drivers and applications for them, physx will be needed on some games and microelectronics is for the Free-Fall Sensor.
