You should have a backup image, anyway. Right ? :-)

Having a backup is a good computer practice, as is using
a separate external drive to store the backup.

As long as your "excess materials" are in a separate partition,
it should not take long to back up C: . Maybe ten minutes is enough
time to do that. It takes an entire day, to back up everything in my room.
But to protect an OS install, that should be about ten minutes.

The Download folder on this OS, might be 30GB. The separate partition
with the majority of files, is over 600GB, and backing that up takes
a bit longer. I do not store backups in that partition either, the
backups are on another drive (a drive not normally connected to the PC).
I have more than 35 hard drives (but the vast majority, are "junk").

And please please, do not use Windows 7 Backup for this task.
That's about the worst product possible, as we're not sure that
restores ever work when using that! I have no positive reports of success.
Your files are stored in VHD or VHDX containers, but it would be
a rather lengthy process to manually put the materials back on a hard
drive later (convert VHD to physical, transfer physical with "dd.exe).
