On a windows computer, hit start, then programs, then accessories, then system tools, and there should be "Disk Defragmenter." Start up that program, and follow the instructions.\n\nYou should defrag your computer every few months to keep it working at top speed.

Try defraging the hard drive. Click on start-click programs-scroll to accessories,system tools then click on disk defragmenter. While in the program click on analyze it will probably tell you it doesn't need defraging but defrag it anyway.

You can't. Everything now costs money. \n\nTry getting rid of some of your larger programs. Always works for me. Try defraging if you have an older computer.

Run Disk Cleanup. You'll find this under Programs->Accessories->System Tools\n\nSelect Temporary Internet files and Temporary Files\nClick OK to delete them\n\nThis might help.

There's a brilliant program called Ccleaner. I use it so it must be idiot proof.\nwww.ccleaner.com\nDefragment the hard drive, go to Start - Accessories - System Tools - Defragment.\nAlso, try storing big files like images on a separate partition, or preferably a separate drive such as an external hard drive. Pc's do slow down as you start to use them and I think to an extent its unavoidable.

Go into msconfig and turn off programs that you don't need to start when Windows does.\n\nAlso scan for viruses and spyware.\n\nClean out temporary files, use disk cleanup and defrag

Give it a thorough 'disc check' and 'defragmentation'.  If you do not know how, modify your question.

For user eyes its stored in Folders.\n\nFor system, its stored in sectors and tracks. You can view the same when you run Defrag Tool.

Here's the real answer! It cannot delete the file cause the registry is corrupted then. You right-click on Start menu, click Explore. Scroll down on the left hand side and look for Programs. Click the + beside it. Look for the program you want to delete. Right-click on it, click delete. \n\nNow for that registry problem. Two easy programs you must run. Cliclk on Start menu, open Programs, open Accesories, open System Tools, click on Disk Cleanup. Run it step by step, it is simple to do. Then same steps to follow to reach next program. Below Disk Cleanup you will see Disk Defragmentor. Click on it and run it also step by step.\n\nNow you have deleted that unwanted program and made your computer run faster and more efficient.

Try doing some maintanece on your computer.\n\nGo to "All Programs"\nClick "Assessories"\nClick "System Tools"\n(Do the following tasks one at a time, or you'll overload your system)\n\nFirst, clean out your sytem by clicking "Disk Cleanup". If you have more than one hard drive clean out each one. This gets rids of unnecessary files and also spyware your scanning programs might have missed.\n\nWhen you are all done with this, go back to "System Tools" and click "Disk Defragmenter" This program moves around your files so that they can runs better and keeps things from crashing. If you have never defragmented your computer(which ought to be done about once a month) it make take an hour or more.\n\nYour computer should work better after these steps. If it does not, check to make sure that your processor is new enough to handle the software you are using.

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.

Go to the Control Panel option on your start menu and choose performance and maintenance.  There should be an option for freeing up space on your hard drive.  It is call defragmenting, and does not remove programs or file.  It only rearranges them to make them more organized and take up less space.
