you want free space not get rid of it. also windows uses part of hd as a temp swap file space. run ccleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ to cleanout windows temp, cookies, temporary intenet & other such folder.could get a bigger hd but still keep the 30gig for windows & such & the bigger hd for storage.

ddp, i just got ccleaner via your link here, its really good, thanks.. got me nearly half a gig of space from crap!

How does this prog rate against the disk cleanup utilty in XP? should i use ccleaner instead of disk cleanup or as well as?

i also run Defrag on my hard drive once a week, whether it needs one or not, i was advised to do this when i got the PC.. is that wise?

could still use disk cleanup but ccleaner also fixes issues in the registry like obsolete files & such. how much stuff you put on or take off a week might determine whether to do it weekly or longer but no longer than once a month. i do virus scan, spyware scan, scan disk & defrag usually on weekends as i use this computer to work on customers' computers so don't need to load a virus from mine to theirs
