Product: HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am having a space issue on my Windows 10, 64bit desktop's primary (C) drive and am looking for ways to reduce content until I can upgrade to a larger drive.  I noticed several HP Plugins in the list of Apps and Features.  They are HP Dropbox Plugin, HP EmailSMTP Plugin, HP FTP Plugin, HP Google Drive Plugin, HP SFTP Plugin and HP Sharepoint Plugin.  I don't think I use any as I only print and scan on this device.    Can these plugins be deleted for now and later reacquired?

Hi,

You may uninstall the plugins with no fear if you do not use any of these, these are adding additional capabilities to the HP Scan Software and would not affect any standard scanning to the computer.

 

Generally, be aware that 2 GB free hard-disk space is the minimum required for the scanning and printer software to operate, if you have less than that I suggest freeing up some space as it may prevent basic printing and scanning as well.
