there is no sufficient space on drive C:. When i checked only 484 MB was available though that partition is of 6.50 GB. i deleted some files, cleaned disk, uninstalled few programs and also tried to defrag the disk but problem is not getting fixed. i do not know where all free space is going.
please help.

OK, there are a couple of things you can do.... First of all 6.50 is hardly any space and if you have XP running - it's most likely barely enough to run it if you have other programs loaded as well.
You don't say what your OS is...If it's a P4, I will assume you're running XP. IF YOU ARE, you can right mouse button click on C drive in my computer and click disk cleanup - HOWEVER go to the options (I believe it's a tab) and there you will see "delete all but the last restore point".
You're computer is always backing up everytime you download something. MAKE SURE it is booting properly before you do this because it will delete ALL restore points EXCEPT for the last one (it keeps one just in case - but you will not be able to restore back further).
Restore takes a lot of space and I make a habit of deleting all but the last - because most of the time, the old ones don't work anyway. I suggest you get a 3rd party software - like Partition Magic and make your C partition bigger. Maybe you can think about moving some of the information on the other partitions to a usb thumb drive or USB little hard drive.
I have a 20 gig usb HD that holds a lot of information that I don't use daily (music, pictures, etc.) Also remember that the computer will save internet files - so make sure to go to Tools on your internet screen and click "clear files"....

if you have 4 partitions.... then that partition.... the one that you are running windows on... probably is full... I don't see why you would partition it 4 times unless you have a huge hard drive and you are running 4 operating systems. I'd reformatt and make the main partition a lot bigger than the others (that is if you still want it partitioned.)

It is because of the virtual memory 484MB is really a small space better delete some more bigger files which eats your storage.
