delete your temp files through your tools function

Well it might be that you have a million videos or movie clips. If not, you should just run scan disk and it will probably clear out a little bit of space. Just look through your programs and see which one's you really need. You may just need a new harddrive or another one. It's hard to say without looking at the computer, but just take a look at your start menu and try to find all your major programs. That is probably what is taking up most of the room.

Try running scandisk, widows may be reporting your free space wrong. Goto My Computer, rightclick harddrive, select properties, select tab tools, scandisk

Here download this utility : WinDirStat.
It will show you in a 2d graphical image which directories are taking the most space on your hard drive, that way you will know what to delete.

Usually Movies take a lot of space,
All you can do is to check your folders, such as My Documents, and all its subfolders.

first click your start box then go to accessories then system tools click disk derangement. When that's finished do it again except go to disk cleanup. remember this may take awhile so be patient

Try to defragment your drives. Find that option in your System Tools folder.
