1: Increase Free Disk Space - Remove unnecessary Files

Delete any unnecessary files: Go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools and run "Disk Cleanup", check all boxes but not "Compress Files", unless you want to increase your disk space. After a while you will get a list of the files to be deleted; click "OK".
Move older files into an archive: DropBox offers 2Gb Free "Cloud" Storage!
Delete unnecessary programs: Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel and run "Add or Remove Programs". Carefully remove any programs you don't want on your PC. Leave all Windows programs and patches alone.

Why? Unnecessary files take up space and slow down your computer.

2: Free MORE Disk Space - Compress infrequently used Files

Compress old files: Go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools and run "Disk Cleanup", check all boxes including "Compress Files". After you click "OK" this may run for many hours if it is run the first time...

Why? Compressing files that are not frequently used frees up disk space, but does not slow down the computer.

3: Free EVEN MORE Disk Space - Remove obsolete Files

Delete more unnecessary files with the free www.CCleaner.com. Download, install (unclicking the Yahoo Toolbar option) and run the "Cleaner" function.
Delete unnecessary programs: Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel and run "Add or Remove Programs". In the "Change or Remove Programs" panel, carefully remove any programs you don't need on your PC. Leave all Windows programs and patches alone.
Delete unnecessary Windows functions: Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel and run "Add or Remove Programs". In the "Add/Remove Windows Components" panel, carefully remove any programs you don't need.

Why? Unnecessary programs take up space and may slow down your computer.
