May be the few programs you have installed they have occupied all that big space.The other reason is user files and temp files. Perform disk clean up [Start>programs>accessories>system tools>disc clean up. (windows)]

You really seem to have a need to get rid of the data on that hard drive. Hmmmmm.................

There is a product called Undelete that can do this.  However, if you don't already have it installed, the space where the deleted files were stored has most likely already been overwritten.  The files are almost certainly lost forever.

Maybe your free space on your hard disk isn't sufficent...

Delete files from free space?  You don't. You can use a zero-fill utility to wipre the free space.

It is because you Have too much stuff in your hard drive and this causes memory disc to be overloaded.Try to delete cookies by going to TOOLS and then internet options,a page will appear where you can delete cookies,this should free up some space.Also you should do defrag once a week.

Do a regular disk defragment (this is like doing filing within your comp - puts files back in place) from "all programmes>system tools>defragment".  Install a programme like cccleaner (a free download), this cleans everything from temp files, memory dumps, MRU lists and a tonne of stuff.  AVG FREE antivirus is great.  Make sure your Firewall is turned on through your Security centre in the control panel...if you run all these programmmes on a regular basis it should keep things running smoothly, alternatively upgrade your memory as the fuller it becomes the slower things will get.  Hope this helps :)

Yes, you'll get back the space only if you delete your trashcan.\n\nIf your trashcan comes with nortan protection, you might not be able to get back the full amount os space, unless you delete it from the protection part as well.

that means you don't have any more room on your hard drive. try buying an external hard drive or burning some files to dvds/cds. that should help.

If ur folders are in My Documents, then right click on My Documents, click on Properties. Inside Properties, click on General, click on Advanced. Now u r in "Advanced Attributes" window. Under Advanced Attributes windows, uncheck the option "compress contents to save disk space". Select all subfolders & files, click on OK. That's it.

if you need more disk space, I don't think deleting some email is the answer, try to find some old files or programs that you don't use anymore and delete it. Or you can buy a new hard drive.

Assuming you're using a PC, because I know almost nothing about Macs....\n\nSome things that will help your system run better in general, but can also potentially free up hard drive space: Regularly run anti-virus and anti-malware scans. Regularly defrag.  Regularly clean out your temporary internet files (cache, cookies, etc).\n\nOther things you can do:  Delete old programs and files that you don't need anymore. Files that you need or want to hang on to but aren't critical should be backed up somewhere off-drive - like on zip discs, cds, etc.  When you install new programs, install them with the minimal option if you're given one.  Alternatively, you can choose the expert installation, and then you can choose not to install components that you won't need.\n\nIn a pinch, you can use the good ol' three-fingered salute to call up task manager and end non-essential programs running in the background.  I strongly suggest that before you end any program in your process tree, that you look it up on the internet just to double check that you won't be making your system unstable by killing a process.\n\nAnd of course, don't forget the "well duh" - don't run so many programs at once, if you know you don't have enough memory for them.\n\nProbably, you will eventually have to buy more memory - either in the form of chips or in the form of hard drive space or both.

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.
