Compact disks are always full, because you can only write to them once and you cannot modify or delete contents later. The only exception are CD-RW disks, where RW stands for rewritable.

to clean your computer of downloads, teporary files etc;\n\ngo to my computer\n\nclick C drive\n\nright click the C drive and click properties\n\nwhen you click properties your disk space will show and then you will see a DISK CLEAN up option\n\nClick the DISK CLEAN UP option and the computer will auto scan file folders etc. that can be eliminated to free computer space.\n\nAfter scan you will see an info box that will give you options to CHECK if you want these files/folders deleted; DOWNLOADED PROGRAM FILES is the very 1st option; check that box and other you want to delete and you should be on your way to cleaning up and freeing up space on your desktop. \n\nOh! It can take time, so do not cancel or close out windows while the process take place!

Buy a program that "bleaches" the hard drive space.  Simply formatting the drive still leaves data retrievable, it's just not seen by Windows.

Nah, just format D:, assuming you don't have anything there you want. If you do, you'll either need to move what you want to keep off of it first, or you can just go through and delete it manually. As long as you're booting from C: it shouldn't be using any of the windows files on D:, so you wont have any problem deleting them.

If there is no critial data on the drive, use the control panel to remove all of the programs which have nothing to do with the hardware function.  Often you can use an internet search engine to help sort out what is best to leave.  Make sure that you delete any games.  Use Explorer to delete any directories for the games and programs removed.\n\nNext delete all of the files from My Documents.\nNow you need to run a utility called Disk Cleanup.  This will depend upon which version of Windows you have, but you should be able to find it using the Help function (It is usually found in Programs, under Accessories, System Tools).  Delete every thing that you can, including the stuff in the Trash can.\n\nNext open My Computer and highlight and select your hard drive with a single right click.  You should see an options window open.  Left click on Properties to open a drive window.  Next left click on the Tools tab, followed by the Defragment button.\n\nOnce the Defrag is done, your drive is going to be as clean as you can get it without special programs or information.  Windows should not be affected.

You can use a program like CCleaner (freeware) and manually uninstall all of your programs. You can then reformat the drive. If you perform an OS reinstall, don't select repair. Reinstall the OS fresh, and that will remove everything and start over.

Don't just format your hard drive.  Wipe it using DBAN, see sources, or a similar tool.  Formatting, alone, will leave much recoverable information on your drive.\n\nAfter wiping, as the other posters have already said, format your drive and reinstall your operating system from the original CDs.

They are all correct. There are several tools available to reduce the space used by files on your hard drive and unless you have used a good cleanup tool lately you probably have several files taking up space on your HD which aren't even connected to programs any more. You need an all in one clean up program that will remove the old files and delete unused registry entries also. CClean does a good job and it is free.

open "my computer" and right clink on the C drive, thats how u see if it's full or not. in that window there is also a "free space" button, it erases files u dont need that ur computer generates by it self. if u delete a file its sent to the trash can, if u delete the files from the trash can u cant get them back and they dont affect ur space. if u have a lot of music and u use itunes, u might wanna check if itunes "copied" the songs to the itunes folder, that way u have each song twice and it takes more space. hope i helped

in windows explorer, right click on the C: drive <properties> see how much diskspace is left, do disk cleanup.  If that doesn't free up space use explorer to find out files you no longer need.  You might also go to control panel and delete programs you no longer need.

Reformatting the drive will get rid of all the garbage in your system.  You have the remnants of files that have been deleted, a pile of junk in your Windows temp file plus a load of other junk floting around.\n\nRather than formatting your drive, download Window Washer from Limewire,com - this will clean all the sheit off the drive and make the maximum amount space available to you.

Get hold of CrapCleaner from FileHippo. Its free and it will tidy things its safe to tidy.\n\nYou can also delete restore points and change restore settings to save fewer restore points (or turn off system restore).\n\nIf you don't mind the risk, you can also delete all Windows update uninstallation folders - but do this the right way - they take up 800MB on my PC.
