Another checkpoint to consider:
If you do not use hibernation, make sure you do not have it enabled, which
reserves disk space equal to your RAM. If you have a hidden file on the root
directory of your C-drive called hiberfil.sys, hibernation is enabled.
To remove that file, go to Display Properties, Screensaver, Power, Hibernate
tab, and uncheck the Enable hibernation box.
You can delete the following files to save disk space:
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\*.*
c:\windows\driver cache\i386\driver.cab
c:\windows\inf\*.pnf
