Firstly never wait until all the fragmentation piles up like a disease at its final stage as it can take a long time to tackle it. A drive thats out of space and also badly fragmented affects performance and stability adversly. In order to free up space, you can Uninstall programs that you dont need, burn music, movies pics etc onto DVDs ets, run a diskcleanup(get rid of temp files, recycle bin files, older restore points) and you should be able to get some space free. You can also get an external drive and move some stuff off to it. If that doesnt work, check out some third party tools which may complete the task with much lesser free space.
Reply:I wouldn't delete security updates. You should delete your Internet cache and cookies, and move pictures and other media files to another drive. Also if you make your System restore cache smaller you'll gain enough space to defrag. You consider getting another drive to store your non program files on. Good luck!
Reply:get a copy of XPLITE and clean up the extra junk.





you can delete the uninstall folders under - C:\WINDOWS\system32 - just not all of them. Google around to figure out which are safe.





spend a few bucks and buy a larger drive - they're cheap now and you'll be much happier with more space
Reply:i wouldnt .. usually its media that takes up all ur space ... photos, music, videos .... burn them off to disk or external harddrive ..
Reply:i highly recommend you get a bigger hard drive, becuase a hard drives that is more than 80% full, even if its fragmented, will suffer and probably crash/die and take all your info with it.
Reply:Yup. Unless you need to uninstall them. But that is done manually and if you are asking this chances are you dont know how to do it... so it does not matter...
