I tried that but it doesn't seem to do anything, I'll just dig around my c drive and see if there is anything I don't want.

You could always format your hard drive, that should free up a bunch of space.

You can always remove windows

Whatever you do, Do not delete system32. I've tried that on one of my VMs and it slowed everything to hell and wouldn't reboot properly.

Depending on how much of a clusterforget your harddrive is, you may need to restore.
Just do a disc cleanup, then a defrag and then another disc cleanup. Keeps my PC ship-shape and running fast-ish.

Delete any of the stuff that comes prepackaged with your computer. That includes most manufacturer-made software like what HP throws in.


Backup any documents or projects or research or whatever onto flash drives or CDs or something. You don't really need those sitting on your computer 24/7.
