How can u get hard drive space for free?

Answer 1

yeh, you could delete old programs, etc. ccleaner, will delete temp files, empty your cache, etc., thus freeing up space. you can change the size of your temp internet folder in internet explorer.

http://www.ccleaner.com/download

additional stuff - you can "right click", your recycle bin, and change the size of the recycle bin. also, you can right click "my computer", and click on the "system restore" tab, and change the size of it. this probably wouldn't free anything up yet (until you delete your restoration points). g/l, sos
