More often, the hard disk space becomes hogged and leaves an user to think what's the cause. If general, the following are the major consumers of hard disk space:
* System Restore snapshots
* Temporary Internet Files / History
You can free-up the space by running Disk Cleanup utility. Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type cleanmgr, and then click OK. Select the drive, More Options, System Restore, Cleanup.
This purges all the restore points except the newest point. This should clear-up most of the disk space. If not, choose the following options disk cleanup and run it:
* Remove temporary Internet files
* Remove downloaded program files
* Empty the Recycle Bin
* Remove Windows temporary files
