My c:\windows folder is taking up more than half my 20 gb drive space and
seems to be having an effect on the performance of the laptop. I have moved
all my files and music to the d:\ drive so I don't have any personal files
left. There is so little space left I can't defrag the drive. I run regular
disk clean ups and use cc cleaner, and only 2 gb is program files. Is there a
way to clean up unneccessary files from this folder or is my laptop too small
to be running the XP operating system?
