looks like you have a load of junk files for a start; download CCleaner - it's free and will get rid of browser history, cookies, temporary files, application logs etc to free up some disk space.

Reply:Buy an external hard drive Maxtor/Freecom 350/400 gig drives are great you'll never use that much.
Reply:Try deleting all system restore points apart from most current under disk clean up that frees up alot of disk space
Reply:delete anything you dont use or you dont want ...sacrifices sometimes are made and you have to make them ....delete temporary files from your documents and settings
Reply:Go to My Computer and right click on Drive C. Click on Properties


Click on Disk Cleanup





Select which options you wish to clean and let it do its job. You'll be amazed at how much space you manage to free up.
Reply:If you run Windows XP its a good idea to have 20 gigs just for that, so its not an extreme amount.


If you have a cd writer, burn any files you can to that.


Uninstall any software you don't often use if you have the installation disc (or the program backed up to cd).


Install Ccleaner from


http://www.ccleaner.com


Its free, and its a safe registry cleaner. Start with the Cleaner button, delete everything that finds.


Then use the Issues button. Tick 10 issues at a time and back them up when the program offers. It creates a text file in your My Docs folder. If anything stops working, one of those entries is needed. You just double click on the backup to re-install it. But Ccleaner is very safe and I've never heard of anyone having to do that!


Finally, run the disc defragmenter from Start - programs - accessories - system tools - disc defragmenter. Leave it while it runs.
Reply:Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and remove anything you don't use anymore. Or buy a new hard drive if you aren't willing to remove anything else. 19G isn't really very much these days.
Reply:disk cleanup, go to start, accessories, system, disk cleanup......
