Do a disk cleanup. Click on Computer. Right click on your hard drive (C:) and select Properties. Click on Disk Cleanup. It takes a while! But then you will have a bit of space. Remove your programs before you do anything else.

When trying to delete stuff, hold down shift and press the delete key. This will purge it from your computer rather than trying to send it to the recycle bin (which doesn't actually remove anything from your computer's memory) Or Go to Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features. Remove any unused programs from there.

First off make sure the Recycle Bin is empty, if it isn't then empty it, that will free up some space and then you should be able to remove some stuff. Alternatively you could invest in a portable or external hard drive and transfer some of your stuff on to there.

Hi i know this sounds like the old problem with VISTA again it will not do what ever. so take this to a tech to sort. but don't be surprised if he recommends a bigger hard drive and a change to windows 7.
