You can use the disk cleanup utility available in system tools.

Also - you can get yourself a cheap flash drive - I have seen 512 MB at Target for $12. Back some of your files, pictures, etc. to that. You can also accomplish the same thing with a CD burner if you have one.

Defragmenter will not give you much space. To delete those files (which are most likely system files of your operating system), you need to connect the drive to other computer or to boot using some other system even from CD.

IF WINDOWS CANNOT MOVE OR DEFRAG FILES THEY ARE SYSTEM FILES. IF YOU DELETE SYSTEM FILES YOU WILL BE USING SOMEONE ELSE'S COMPUTER TO ASK HOW TO FIX YOUR COMPUTER. IF YOU READ SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS YOU WILL SEE OTHERS WHO HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY!!!

P.S. SOME OF THESE ANSWERS ARE WORSE THAN A VIRUS TO YOUR COMPUTER, SO KEEP THIS IN MIND.

First precise click on it and make confident it incredibly is not declared device or study-in common terms (under residences, genera - attributes)... in simple terms uncheck the packing containers in the event that they're. next... Boot into secure MODE or DOS MODE... and attempt the delete returned. good luck... a sort of could get it... if no longer... replica off each little thing else and REFORMAT.

have to go to the source & delete.

try compressing old files, or store some files through your email - send them as attachments. i have a bunch of files saved on my various accounts.
