To get that bit of extra space if your system is up to date and stable, you can delete the Windows Update files, but you need a program to do it.

and download "Remove Hotfix Backup"
If all of that does not clear about 1gb, I would be surprised.

Have you deleted them from your recycle bin as well - you need to do that to free up disk space. Also try getting rid of your temporary internet files if not already done so. After a while there can be a lot of them taking up a lot of space. In Internet Explorer click on Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files.

Delete your temporary files under
C:\Documents and Settings
\USERNAME
\Local Settings
\Temp
Also, make sure you empty your recycle bin. Your trash also counts towards your disk space.

also if you're using downloaders such a bitTorrent they're using a lot of space, bacause they shatter the file. defragmentation helps but only for a while..
