Answer 1

run disk cleanup and disk defrag, go to programs accesories system tools to find those. Also delete all of your cookies and interent files that are stored on your computer, go to control panel then go to network and internet connections after that go to set up or change internet connection , then click on general tab and then click the delete cookies and delete files buttons. If you have never done this it should free up 4 or so GB of space. Also go through your my documents folders and delete anyhting that you arent usings

Answer 2

disk fragmentation doesn't reduce much space it only align and take out the garbages out,

also ur telling that even after removal of software and others there is not enough space
so
it seems to be formation of " bad sectors in hard disk ",
try "disk error check " on every drive it will show the error,

if not then format the disk which show more error.
