With a 14 Gig drive I can almost bet a coffee and donut on the fact that there are tons of either:\nPictures\nMovies\nMusic\nGames\n\nthose are the space killers..

Go to Start/Run and enter msconfig. There will be a startup tab that lets you uncheck the stuff you don't want. You can uncheck everything and XP will still run, and go back and recheck things if something stops working right.\nThere's also the Start/All Programs/startup thing you can delete stuff from.

Go to your DOS prompt (in Accessories) and type in FORMAT C:&#92;\nThis will erase everything. A verification message will ask if you really want to do this, and perhaps even a second asking is possible. If you format your hard drive, it will erase it all. Forever. Just be sure to Backup all you think is important!

Use the program C-Cleaner it will remove the .dat files in there. Even though you clear history, someone with a .dat reader program can see the information..You can set up the program to run at every startup.\n\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com

I don't know where the folders came from, but you could try formating the memory stick. This should erase all data on it. what you do is plug it in, then find it under my computer; they're normally named "removable disk *some  letter*". Right click on it, and go down to "format" it'll ask you some stuff; if you really want to erase everything, click yes. this should clean it off.

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.

Go to the properties of C drive and click on Disk Clean up it will take time because your system has huge unwanted data, but it will work wait for some time. Hope it will work !

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.

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.

If you need to clear up disk space, the easiest way to do so is running the Disk Cleanup Wizard:\nStart button > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup.\nHTH
