My computer in the office is quite old. It is still using XP. The drive C only has about 19.5GB. However, as time goes by, drive C becomes smaller and smaller. And finally it is just within 50MB and this is quite horrible.
I tried many methods but didn't work well. I could enlarge two MB and that's all. I didn't install many things and this is weird why the storage becomes so small. I can't find big files, too.
Finally I had the disk defragmenter and I am glad this method works so well. Now the drive C has about 7.30GB

Disk defragmenter should always come with windows xp under systems tools, it also comes with the disk cleaner that could also increase space. Other things you can do is create an account with photo bucket and store all your pictures there inside instead of inside the pc.
Another good and safe way is open an account with drop box, send some of your pics and files there to the clouds, it is safe, even dropbox cannot open your files, you can bring it back to you pc when you need it, dropbox and photobucket would free a lot of space in your PC.

@louievill I know. In the past I used 360 online storage and it was good. I had many TB storage. But they didn't provide this service any more

@youless it is still good to have photobucket account because you can arrange them there, make an album for every member of the family especially your children, you can tag and put dates, in case your pc gets corrupted, all your pictures are safe.

Glad you were able to do this. When do you get a new computer?

There are system cleaners to remove the unwanted files that keep adding to your C:\ partition, but they can be dangerous if you delete something that was finally useful. There are utilities to enlarge the partition C, of course you have to make another partition smaller. NEVER dare to do this without making a full backup first.
