One thing I have in my computer is called Ccleaner I run it every day before shutting down and it cleans all unnecessary files from your computer. I also run every day the disk clean up and once a week at least I defragment because I have notice when I don't my computer starts slowing down and running out of space. You could download the cleaner at filehippo.com and is free.

I recovered over 6G of file space (today) by finding I had lots of stuff in Recycler folders. Somehow, the Recycle Bin went a little crazy and got sloppy. Stuff deleted would not be totally gone. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/229041#top "Files Are Not Deleted From Recycler Folder" That only partly worked for me... I could not see the stuff they said I "should" be able to see... I had to look at the drive with the program from: http://windirstat.info/ (Don't sweat the "unknown" stuff, that is a different "problem"...) That allowed me to see the path and files I needed to. I had to turn off the Recycle Bin entirely while I cleaned. Good luck...
