I need help about the low amount of free space on my computer. I have 9.99 GB total memory, but only 622 MB of free space at the moment, and it gets lower by the day. I have hardly anything to remove on my computer, no photos or documents at all. I only have installed various VERSIONS of Adobe Flashplayer, AVG Antivirus, Google Chrome, OpenOffice, etc, the programs I frequently use and have no intention of removing. Then I have programs which I'm not sure will harm my computer if I remove them, Microsoft.NET Framework up to version 4, a very long list of Windows XP security updates, a long list of Internet Explorer updates and Microsoft Visual C +++. And so I can't solve the problem by removing programs. I frequently use disc cleanup, and I don't have ENOUGH space to use Disc Defragmenter, which I was hoping to use. What can I do to get at least 15% of free space?A few questions.
You are using the the 64 bit Windows 7, - Right?
You are talking about your RAM memory? 10 GB of RAM is lots. My system has only 4 GB of RAM memory  and works fine.

There are two important things about the 64 bit version.
First, you must use only the 64 bit drivers for all devices.
Second, all programs must fit with either the 32 bit or 64 bit specs given by Microsoft.  Any program that tries to use the 16 bit mode will mess things up.

Also, you may have some kind of virus or worm hidden in the t system.The OP is obviously talking about disk space, not ram.

Alexandra - how large is the hard drive? Is C: a partition or the entire drive?I have another Hard Disk Drive called Video H with 62 GB free space but I don't know how to use it.No, I don't think I have the 64 bit Windows 7, it's not listed under "system". I have Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 and 1.87 GB of RAM. The 9.99 GB is on hard drive C, which is the one with low space.Disregard the post by Geek - it has nothing to do with your problem / question.

1) Scan your system with BOTH your installed anti virus app AND with MalwareBytes. If your system is not infected, you can do any or all of the following:

2) Empty the recycle bin
3) Delete all files in your TEMP folder
3) Either reduce the space allotted to system restore or disable system restore (NOTE: all restore points will be deleted but you will immediately regain a great deal of space)
4) Reduce space allotted to the Temporary Internet Files Folder
5) Download and run treesize (free version) to see where the space is being used (http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/)

If you don't know how to do any of the things I've suggested you can post back and ask for help or simply use Google and you'll get step by step instructions.OK, so I've scanned the computer with both AVG and Malwarebytes Antimalware which I've newly installed and it hasn't detected any threats. My Recycle Bin is empty ANYWAY. If you could tell me how to do both steps 3 and step 4, and I'll leave step 5 till last. ThanksWhat operating system are you running?Microsoft Windows XP You know what? The easiest way to delete all but the most recent restore point in System Restore is to use Disc Cleanup. Open Windows Explorer, Right-Click on C:driver, Choose Properties, then Disc Cleanup. Run Disc Cleanup. Then, in the Disc Cleanup window click on "More Options" then "System Restore". Run it. It will delete all but the most recent restore point.

If you choose to disable System Restore, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/app_system_restore_hss_settings.mspx?mfr=true

If you disable System Restore you should then use a different backup option. I recommend disc imaging (to a removable hard drive).

To delete the files in your Temp folder, just go to your temp folder and delete the files.alexandraxerta

I too am running WinXP SP3
First of all, for C Drive, 10 GB is pretty less.
My system has 30 GB for C, out of which only 19.4 is free.

My Current C Drive usage is as follows :

Documents and Settings ~ 1 GB
Windows ~ 4 GB
Program Files ~ 0.5 GB (All installed program are in D:\\Installed folder).

Then there are 2 hidden system files :
pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys which take up ~ 2.5 and 3 GB respectively.

So taking up almost 10 GB and seems resonable!

So in your case :
If u've files in "My Documents" folder, move all of them to another drive (at least onto a pendrive)
Disable hibernation.
From now on, install all s/w onto another drive.

Ignore the above advice...Is it spam?Actually, making sure hibernation is disabled is a good IDEA. And moving the pagefile to the second hd would free up a lot of space (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307886)Anytime i've seen a system where apps and folders such as My Documents or other system folders are moved to another drive those systems have always had issues...
