Default how to free up space on your harddrive.

Hi,

I would first suggest backing up any data you don't want
to loose or can't replace.

Here are a few suggestions to free up disk space.

Delete the TIF (Temporary Internet files) by right clicking on the IE
icon on the desktop then select properties. Click on Delete Files in
the TIF area. Do the same and select "Delete all offline content.

The amount of disk space Temporary Internet file use can also
be limited by right clicking on the IE icon on the desktop and
picking properties. On the General tab click on setting. Adjust there.

Reboot and delete the contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder

Uninstall any unwanted programs using the Add/remove icon
in Control Panel.

Convert the drive to Fat32 if it is not already.
