    Is this necessary to keep?
    With dealing with this ongoing wifi hassle I have been installing anything that looks like it might fix it. But do I need to keep all of this?

    Also, if I don't need half of these..how can I clean the system, or is that necessary too?

    Nearly 500-600MB!

    Burn it onto a disc and delete it. It's always a good idea to have a copy of the drivers.

    That is the default folder used by the driver installer for unzipping DELL drivers. You can delete them if you want, because you can always download the latest drivers from support.dell.com.

    Okay cool. Now if I only knew which ones I really needed. They were all listed, but I think some may be older versions and such. No worries about having all that loaded at some point?
