Im pretty antsy waiting for X2 to be released, So Im pondering when I get X2 , Do I leave X1 and install x2 and leave it be , or do I install X2 then erase X1, or perhaps X2 updates over X1. 
 Im thinking about these situations just because my C : drive  is an SSD n unfortunately its only 60 GB,And I have only about 9 gigs left of space. What to do? 

 Then I'm thinking when I install X2, what should I do with my content , right now my content is directed to another drive , So when I install the new content do i overwrite the old or install it side by side. 
 Perhaps Im over thinking and I just want my X2 :)

X2 does not install over X1. There is no reason why you need to erase X1. Keep them both.
I had 3 or 4 different sonar programs on PC. It doesn't hurt it.

Do you remember how much just the install files were?

I dont know what your trying to ask.  I would not worry about how much or how little any files are. Install X2 all the way or Install just what you need as far as extra files and stuff. 

Dont worry about hard drive space as these days hard drives are bigger and cheaper than ever. The space they take up is nothing ion the grand scheme of things.

Not including the Cakewalk Content or the new Rapture, X2 will take up about 150-200MB. This estimate is based on the sum of c:\Program Files\Cakewalk\SONAR X1 Producer + c:\ProgramData\SONAR X1 Producer + {User}\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\SONAR X1 Producer

I have an SSD for my programs that I wish to leave as much room as possible on. X1 took up quite a bit of room. I'm thinking I should remove X1 completely, since it will just sit there & do nothing, taking up much needed real estate.

If you are in the middle of projects and can't afford any down-time then leave X1 on for now and install X2. Once you are happy X2 is working properly with your projects then go ahead and delete X1.

i or no one else knows the size of this install so its useless trying to figure it out right now.
only thing im guessing is maybe its close to or the same size as x1 was,i dont know.
alot of thoughts have been going through my head lately and im just as excited to see it as you.
but how big this is??
i dont think anyone knows except the higher ups.
