80 to 90 percent remaining space is good. You may mean 80 to 90 percent in
use. In either case, in addition to what you already do, you can
periodically clean out extrenious files in your computer by going to
Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Cleanup. It will review your
hard disk(s) and suggest files that can be removed. I've never had any
problem letting it delete whatever it suggests.
Also, you can delete Temporary Internet files by Right Clicking on your
desktop icon for the internet. Then go to properties and delete Temporary
Files and, if you want, History. If you have a dial up connection, the next
time you go to your normal web pages, it will take longer to download the
pages. The Temporary Files act like a cache for your internet connection. If
going through your destop icon doesn't get you to those deletion options,
you need to go through Tools/Options after opening your internet connection.
To verify disk usage you can go to My Computer, then Right Click on your
disk drive (normally 'C'), then go to properties.
