Yes - on ANY and ALL HDD's - you may not be able to run system scans like your security protection, system processes that run the PC, system utilities, etc. Low disk space won't harm the PC per se, that you will need to fix the HDD, though. So... clean it up...
Use the system Disk Cleanup utility.
Delete Windows and Internet temp files.
Clean all browser caches.
Remove all unused and unwanted programs.
Transfer some of your files to optical discs - CD/DVD's.
Empty Recycle Bin.
Delete or transfer files in your Download directory to optical discs - CD/DVD's.
After all that, run the defragmentation utility.

First complete the following steps to make some space on your C drive.
1) go to start > all programs > accessories > system tools > disk cleanup. Run disk cleanup to delete unnecessary files from your C drive
2) Create a folder in another partition, and rename it as backup. Then copy everything from your "my documents folder" in C drive to this folder and delete the files from c drive.. That should make some space on your C drive.
3) Uninstall some unnecessary programs by going in control panel > add/remove programs. That will also free some space on your C drive. That will give you additional space
4)download+install+run Free Crap Cleaner ccleaner http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
(uncheck the option to install yahoo toolbar during instalation of ccleaner, if you do not want yahoo toolbar to be installed on your computer)

you need to get a bigger HD. if you run out of space your computer won't have room to move things around and will start to corrupt the files and the system will crash. Uninstall any programs your not using, defrag the drive and get a registry cleaner software too.

It's not harmful, but it can slow your pc down.
Try to delete the temporary files by right-click at one of your hard drives, then click properties.
Click Disk Cleanup, and then click OK.

You should clear up as much space in your hard disk as possible to make way for new things. if you keep it cramped up, your computer will become extremely slow.

nope not harmful but slows the PC process...get rid of junk files, unnecessary file and defrag.
my advise, do disk clean up every end of week, defrag drive evry month.
