You can move only your datas. If you move your programs they may not work properly!

Those are mostly essentials. Better just clean up your files. Put those that are not used often on a CD. Or you could buy another hard drive. They are now so cheap. If you do not have physical space available inside the PC case, get an external hard drive.

You need all those programs, go to control panel click on system icon then click on system restore UN check that disable system restore then restart computer after you restart computer make system restore enable again,you save allot of space this way but you lose all the restore points up till you did that you will have restore points from now on.

You can delete them all and your PC will still work, but you will loose the functions of these programs.

A quick way to get some space on your PC is to:

Right click on "Start"
Left click on "Search"
Search for ".tmp" on the c: drive (don't forget the . )
Delete everything you find

Delete your temporary Internet files as well by:
Open Internet Explorer
Click on "Tools"
Click on "Internet Options"
Click on "Settings"
Click on "View Files"
Tap the "Ctrl+A" keys to highlight it all
Press the "Delete" key

This method will work with any version of Internet Explorer.
