It's called copy. Click on the source. Click on the free space you
want to copy it to, punch go.

I was referring to two areas. One is the trash that accumulates that is
cluttering the HDD and configuration files.

The other is, hopefully we are continuously growing in knowledge and
understanding. Therefore, the great system we built last year is, well,
not so great now. Sometimes having our OS blow up can be a real
blessing. Having to start from scratch frees us to use what we've
learned since the last time, but didn't use because we didn't want to
disturb a functioning system. I am always impressed with how much
smaller and more tidy everything is when it is fresh.
