Hey naplesjoe

Try using these programs:

Best Regards :D

In addition to using Ccleaner try this little method to clean up a little, and fix any little errors along the way.

Go to My Computer

Right Click on your C drive and select Properties

Click on the Tools tab

Under Error Checking select the Check Now button. Check both boxes and a box will pop up stating in order to run these checks your pc needs to be restarted. It will ask if you want to schedule this scan for the next time it restarts. Select OK. Then when you have about 30 minutes or so, restart and it will check for and repair any errors it detects and clean things up a little bit.

Hope this helps.

I find the best solution is to go into the C drive, and check how much space is taken by each main folder if you know what I mean. Primarily Program Files and Documents/Settings
