Low Disk Space - C: Drive

    Hi,

    I keep getting a warning that I am running on very low disk space in the C: Drive.

    The capacity of my C: Drive is 171gb and the capacity of my D: Drive is 58.1gb and most of that is free.

    I have run a CCleaner program to clear any temp files and whatever else it cleans up.

    I have iTunes and there is over 70gb off music in that, would that be clogging up my c: drive?

    My system is Windows XP 2002 Home Edition

    Any ideas how to free space? As I'm not sure what programs I could delete etc.

    Thanks in advance

    Try cleaning out the system restore points, that can use up a lot. If you need help doing it just ask!

    Thanks, I did that and it only cleared up a few hundred MB, so the C: Drive is still pretty much full.

    Any more ideas?

    Convert all your music to 128, but I dunno if thats possible with itunes format. After that get a 1TB external drive.
