Am trying to clear up space on my laptop and in doing so searched for a way to remove Bridge as this is one application that I don’t use at all on that machine. However, Bridge doesn’t appear at all in the Add/Remove programmes list (Windows XP2 Pro) which has thrown me somewhat. I then attempted to remove CS3 hoping that Bridge would appear in an options list which of course it doesn’t 🙁 so had to back track from there as well. Has anyone got any suggestions please?

You can’t nor should you. If you’re that desperate for space I suggest you buy a new harddrive.

I don’t think you can split Bridge from Photoshop CS3.

Get an external drive and move all non-system and non-program files to it.

I just took a look at my CS4 installation. The Bridge executables directory takes up 144mb. Not that terrible really in this day and age.

If you happen to have either the "Goodies" or "Documentation" folders in Program Files>Adobe, you could consider backing up and deleting those. It might give you about that amount of space if you really need to free up every last megabyte.
