windows 7 - My C drive is 20GB large and almost full, how do I regain space?


I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed on my PC. The C drive has a capacity of 20 GB and I have only a few applications installed. Still, the drive shows as being almost full up to its capacity and keeps prompting for a disk cleanup.


Even after a disk cleanup the story continues. I have even tried using some Registry cleaner applications to free up space, but no luck.


How can I regain disk space?



Answer



The story is pretty simple. Windows 7 Ultimate is about 10GB. If you have any backups, hibernation enabled, or pretty much anything, you won't have much space left. The only thing to do is get a bigger drive.


Sorry.


EDIT: To address the comment of the OP, if they are different physical drives, I would just install windows 7 on the largest one (if this will be your primary OS, else at least on something with about 50GB or so of free space).
If there is really only one drive, but it is partitioned, you can add space to your partition with drive management (just search for in the box on the pearl menu).
