1. Empty recycle bin
2. Uninstall any unused programs
3. Uninstall some windows applications - Control Panel - Add/remove programs - add/remove windows components (depends on your version of windows
4. Download and install CCleaner (from piriform.com)
5. Scan for viruses (some viruses duplicate files, causing your disk space to get full). Try Norman Malware Cleaner, or Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool - these are free. Google them with quotes.

You may also consider right-clicking your C drive, click on properties, on the General Tab click on Disk Cleanup and follow the prompts. Repeat for other drives.

stop wasting time with short cut solutions. If the problem is recurring it means you have no disk space worth talking about. Ccleaner only removes temp files, removing a program only frees up no more than 5g and next month the same problem starts again.

So as someone has said, remove all the porn on your laptop. Or extra documents you don't need.

If not, go add another hard-drive, external harddrive if you have to and continue watching your porn in peace.

The hard disk is partitioned into drives C (20gb) and D, E and H which are each 40gb. I moved all the documents in C to the other drives, and also the programs that I could, and deleted some that I couldn't. Currently drives D,E and H have over 30gb of free space each (making a total of over 100gb), but drive C has only 100mb. My problem is to increase the space in drive C, which appears to be getting smaller with each day......And yes, i deleted the 20gb of porn that was in drive E.

It's because you're saving all your documents to drive C. Try saving the documents on the other disk drives. You have more than enough space.
