Lewis,
The files you've created are not deleted by install or uninstall.
Right-click on the folder(s) they're in, choose Properties, and see how much
space they're using. You can move them to the D drive if it will gain you
much space.
Have you cleared the recycle bin, and used Internet Explorer's Tools -
Options to remove temporary internet files? Look in the Windows folder for
a folder called Temp. Trash it (don't do this if you're in the process of
doing anything else). Also, empty the Deleted Items folder in Outlook or
Express. Look in Sent Items (and other folders) for emails that have large
attachments -- they take up a lot of space. Then run File - Compact all
Folders (should be done periodically anyway).
I had a program called WinClean that could move an installed application. I
never used that function, (but its registry cleaner worked well in Win 98).
I don't know if it works with Win 2000 or XP. It'd be safer to uninstall
the software and reinstall it if you can.
There's an option somewhere in Windows that says something like "Create lots
of incredibly huge files." Unfortunately, no one can find it to turn it
off.
