Good morning!
I have a problem that give me headache. my hardisk is running out of space. it's capacity is about 19 GB and i think that enough for my Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 PC. While recking my brain toward the problem, i notice that the Windows foler in C: is too big, about 6.4 GB.! It's that reasonable, it's it? Uninstalling some programs is not my choice as i need all the program for my work. It's something can I do? of course i have done disk cleanup.
Did you try deleting ur restore points, older ones can be safely deleted, also after the cleanup, run chkdsk and run the disk defragmenter. Here's a link on freeing up space, check if u missed anything- http://pcworld.about.com/magazine/2007p162id97442.htm
after win98 temp is stored "%userprofile%\locals~1\temp" because restricted user cannot write to the windows directory and therefore applications would have a problem storing temp files
c:\windows\temp del files in there if any. KB9xxxxx are archived files for updates that can be removed you *could* delete those. Also check your log files such as pfirewall.log and see how big that is they can get quite big over time.
Since the Windows folder should only take a couple of gigabytes in a typical installation, you need to identify which folder is consuming the space and narrow it down. Just check properties of each folder in Windows until you find a really big one. Then enter the folder and repeat the process for any sub-folders. You might also try something like SpaceMonger to automate the process of looking for the big folder.
