"The thing about Windows is that I can choose what I want to take up space. "

So, will you explain me how can I get rid of Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player, since I don't want them to take up some space?

Removing IE is not recommended by "me". This will create havoc with 3rd party applications which use it.

Removing Media Player is ill advised. It might as well be welded to the OS.
