Deleting temporary files and uninstalling unused applications can free up some space, however one may reach a point where this is not enough. One may have to contemplate between needs and wants; To determine if certain items on one's computer are a necessity.
Firstly one can check the Recycle Bin or Deleted Items folder. To prevent accidental deletion, Operating Systems may keep deleted files in a special place so that they may be recovered. Space will not be freed until the files have been permanently deleted.
Some applications keep a cache; A space used to keep recently or frequently used data which provides a performance boost to the user. One may clear this cache, or reduce the maximium space allotted.
Games can take large amounts of space due to the various combination of different kinds of multimedia. If the game supports it, one may try using the minimal install, which oftentimes will run off the original CD.
The same can be said of application suites. You may not use some individual applications that are included in full installations. The suite may allow you to uninstall these applications.
Videos, photos, and music can also quickly take up large amounts of disk space. One can consider moving these files to CD or DVD.
Over time, one's collection of e-mail can grow large in size, especially when large attachments are sent. As one's local inbox grows, so can the folder size. Compacting these local inboxes will reclaim unused space, and compression can reduce the space needed. One should also consider deleting or moving messages to save space.
Backups of one's drive should not be kept on the same drive. This effectively doubles the space being used. Also, should the drive fail, any backups located on the drive will be lost as well.
If one's partitions are too small, having a certain ammount of free space may be impossible. Partitions should be optimized such that each partition has adquete space to grow, especially the system partition.
Finally, one can replace or add an additional drive to the system.
