Make sure your Recycle Bin is emptied.\nEmpty your history and cache from your internet web browser. In Internet Explorer go to \nTools-> Internet Options\nclick on the Clear History button\nclick on the Delete Files in the Temporary Internet files section.\n\nIf you guys download a lot of mp3s or movies, deleting them will clear up a lot of space.\n\nAnother option is to buy another hard drive, so you would have 2 hard drives. They are so inexpensive now days.\n\nRight now at Future Shop you can get a 250 Gig hard drive for $90.\n\nhttp://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/subclass.asp?catid=10484&mfr=&logon=&langid=EN&list=&page=0&sort=3

You don't want to remove a file simply because it's contiguous, or "all-together".\nRun a defragment utility to reallocate the used space on your hard drive.  That will also rearrange the fragmented files so they will become contiguous.  Instead of being scattered around in bits and pieces across the drive they're now all-together.

By deleting files you don't need anymore, or moving files to another drive.  Without knowing what's on your D: drive, I can't really be more specific than that.

Try this, its free.\nCCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!\nhttp://ccleaner.com

Your best bet is to use Disk Cleanup. If you have WinXP, go to Start -> run ->cleanmgr.exe. It may take a minute for the program to pickup the files. \n\nDelete 'temporary internet files', 'temporary files', and 'recycle bin' files. The others you may want to investigate and see if you want to delete those files or not. Hope this helps!
