Go to the command prompt and type "format C:\" and click enter. Once that is done, download a Linux Distro installer to a CD from another computer and install Linux.
Your free space should be near the maximum and your OS speed will go up.

Well, the 'free' and 'no charge' make that a bit of a challenge. You're pretty much left with clearing all the old crap off of your computer you don't need, and then defragging the hard disk. If you want to get a bit more hard core, then totally repartition and reformat the drive, and reload all your software. If you've been running the same setup for a while, that will often give you a noticeable boost. And you will have also cleared out anything you didn't bother to back up.

More space - delete music, video, photos, and programs you don't use or want. Free up some hard drive space.
More speed - shut off all programs you don't need running and close all windows you are not using. Programs running in the background eat ram.
Defrag regularly.

Klo-Jann:
You can do a Disk Cleanup (< System Tools < Accesories < All Programs < Start) and Disk Defragmenter one after the another.
You can delete your Temporary Files (Tools > Internet Options > press Alt+F).

Start by deleting your cookies.
- go to Control Panel
- Internet Options
- than click Delete Cookies.
You can also use Disk Cleanup.
- go to My Computer
- right click on main hard drive
- go to Properties
- click Disk Cleanup
This should calculate and then tell you what to do from there.
This is only a few things you can do. there is alot more.

by defragmenting your hard disk, uninstall unused / old program, share part your hardisk as virtual memory, eliminate temporary file,often close your windows well every time u turn off your pc,kill all the virus inside your computer (some virus are mean to slow down windows speed )
if u hesitate to uninstall / erase your old program, but expect to get fast speed / more space without add memory/hard disk,just dream on baby....
is hard to make it happen.

I assume you have (anti-) spyware programs (e.g., Spybot and Ad-awere)--run them
Defragment your hard drive.
Use disk cleanup and/or ccleaner.
I downloaded CCleaner into my new computer today; by new, I mean a couple of months old (7). It found 4000+ files, logs, etc. to delete (340MB).
Windows is famous for keeping a record of eveythin--logs from your firewall, error reports. etc.

DELETE DELETE DELETE!!! just get rid of all the files and programs that you don't need and don't use. A better way is just getting an external hard drive(costs money) and putting everything onto it without deleting anything
