Cleaning up Files

Windows tends to fill your system up with useless files.

These include System Error memory dump files, temporary Internet files, temporary files (filling up the Windows temp directory) and Downloaded Program Files.

Several gigabytes of space can be wasted. To deal with this problem, go to Start Menu -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup.

Another useful tool to analyze where your maximum disk usage is is WinDirStat, based on Stefan Hundhammer's KDE program KDirStat, and is available under GPL v2.
