Before i did all this stuff i only had 30GB free on my computer but now i got 100GB - 90GB free and yes really :)
I know this works for windows vista it may be a bit different windows xp.
First Click the Orb in the left corner that shows the vista logo , now click computer. (for xp go to my computer)
You will see Something like this -
Now you would want to left click your local disk (c) in my case its called Dave (c) and select properties.
Now you should see something like this -
Click Disk Clean Up and select files for all users on this computer.
That should take a few moments when its done scanning you will see something like this.
Tick (select) all of the options to this is important. When you ticked all of them go to the more options tab and you will see 2 clean up tabs.
Click Both Clean ups the first one will tell you to uni stall some programs you don't use so please do so , uninstall anything you don't need or never use. The Second one will tell you to Clean all System restore points except the most recent , this will clean lots of memory so please do so. Now it will be clean them up now when its done click "OKAY" now you will see it deleting the files we selected earlier please note its not deleting personal files just some trash you don't use.
Okay now to back to the properties in your local (c) disk click tools and then defrage now after thats done "Check now" for volume errors" when thats done go back to general and click index this for faster searching and compress this drive. That will take a few hours to clean up but it is VERY worth it you will get more then half of your space back in your computer.
AND YOU ARE DONE.:)
