This is a very nice utility that tells you exactly where all your space is being used up:

Also you can always buy a bigger Hard drive and using the software the new drive comes with create an exact image of the old hard drive (same OS and all your files).
Reply:buy an external harddrive. they plug in via a USB drive and go from 28mb (stick flash drive) upto 2Tb (checks LaCie's website) realistically, a 500Gb drive would cost you 70 Quid

now you dont need to delete anything, but a full hdd can slow down your computor.
Reply:Sounds like time to buy an add on disk - they do just fill up. System files may take up a lot of room - especially paging files and temp files (you can delete the latter but not the former safely)


How about email saved locally?
Reply:depends how large your hdd is - 8gb, 20gb 50gb?





as well as disc cleanup have you tried a defrag?





that can help by sorting everything out and can free up some space.
Reply:Delete all the useless programs and documents, also go on internet explorer and delete all the temorary files. When you delete the files EMPTY THE RECYLE BIN.
