drive C full

Every now and then when loading new programs or games, i get the message that
my C drive is full (i guess not enough memory). How can I resolve this
problem? How can I tell what programs I can delete that are not necessary or
do not apply to my Dell latitude CP laptop? Thanks

You essentially have two options:

(1) Purchase a larger hard drive and clone your existing drive onto it using
Norton Ghost (or another cloning program).

(2) Delete some unneeded data from your existing drive.

Your problem has nothing to do with memory (RAM). You're literally running
out of hard disk space. You see exactly how much space you're using,
double-click the 'My Computer' icon on your desktop (or in your Start Menu),
then right-click on the C drive and choose Properties. You'll then see a pie
chart of the drive usage.

3) L. click the "Disc Cleanup" button.
4) Tick everything in the Disc Cleanup menu.

Get Crap Cleaner at CCleaner.com It will clean out more trash than the
built in Windows Clean up. That could give you some space. Defragging
after that might give you more. Uninstalling unwanted programs would
free up more. Or, as suggested in another reply, buy a bigger hard drive
and clone what you have to it.

There is better way to find where your disk space is. Try
ViewFolderSize Pro
http://www.moveax.com/

My friend recommended me it. He searched for software that shows folder
size extension both on Windows 2k/XP and WinXP x64. I likes View Folder
Size Pro more because it fast, efficient and gives you a lot of
configurable options. It's a slick program for monitoring specific
folders or for finding out exactly which folders are taking up the most
disk space.
