Ref HTC sync; you need to install then uninstall HTC sync. That will leave you with just the drivers.
If you want to keep things really simple root with UnRevoked then, having booted normally, run Revolutionary. The advantages are that UnRevoked will give you root & a custom recovery (clockworkmod) in one easy step then Revolutionary will give you S-Off.
Oxygen 2.3.2 is an excellent ROM (& my personal favorite). However Oxygen by itself will not solve your storage problem. The issue is that the phone storage is broken down into partitions (system, cache and data). Oxygen is a smaller system but without changing anything else you will gain very little other than inaccessible space on the system partition. To use Oxygen to it's full advantage you will need either an EXT partition creating on your sd card or you will need to flash a custom hboot. This thread explains it far better than I can. Do bear in mind that Oxygen 2.3.2 is a gingerbread ROM so you will need to flash the latest radio for the Desire to make it work.
Unfortunately there is no quick fix to storage problems on the Desire but it can all be done. If you are nervous of using command prompts and fastboot the first step is to follow the instructions in the opening post of this thread and root using UnRevoked. Next Follow the instructions from the Revolutionary thread as far as gaining S-Off. Then come back to us & we can talk you through installing 4EXT recovery (which will partition your sd card for you), flashing the latest radio and installing Oxygen.
