1. Do disk cleanup. Clean up all temp files, internet browser cache files, cookies, etc. 2. If you are talking about an older Windows system, like Windows98, you can use a disk utility like Partition Magic to change the default FAT16 partition formatting to FAT32, (without losing any data) and that can give you substantial extra disk space. 3. You can turn on drive compression. Another way is to get a zip utility, and compress all files on your machine. You can easily access them, but compression can save as much as 80% of the space that an unzipped file takes up. Considering the reputation that the windows disk compression utility has, I'd probably go that route.

0)Empty the recycle bin and delete files that you no longer want

1) Enable NTFS compression to automatically compress files to save disk space..

2) Use archiver like KGB archiver which has a very high ratio for compressing old files that you barely use.

3)Get rid of junk from your system using Ccleaner.

4)Uninstall unnecessary programs.

5)Buy a new hard disk..Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM is a good option.
