Vista primary drive clutter

I have Vista ultimate installed on C drive and gradually the space
occupied with Vista has grown and grown. I suspect some files of
programs I no longer use are sitting there as are old versions of
defender definitions.

Is there a way / software that will examine and remove these and make
space? Hopefully Vista will speed up more after that as well.

Perform a Disk Cleanup:

Click on the blue Vista start button and then on the Computer
entry in the Start Menu. Right-click on your hard drive and
select Properties > Disk Cleanup > Files from all users.....
More Options > Clean Up (System Restore and Shadow Copies).
