Low disk space...

[luisc99 (OP)]

So, I found out today that the 220GB hard drive that came with my laptop those four or so years ago when I bought it is nearly full. I do have a terabyte hard drive which is pretty much empty, but I want to try and clear some stuff up as if I do get a new computer anytime soon, it will make transferring files that much easier!

What I have done:
- Cleared my downloads folder. Goodbye 6.8GB of random downloads from the past few years!
- Emptied my recycle bin. Cya 114,184 items clogging up 16.4GB of my hard drive for no reason! This will take a while, Windows predicts 21 hours. I obviously have too many files for Windows to delete at a time
- Removed system32. Waste of space anyway, doesn't do much lol joking obviously

Any more suggestions as to how I can clear disk space that don't involve reinstalling windows?

No, random installers and program stuff over the years

Delete any games you rarely play.

Ok so you could delete some porn. 50GB of porn deleted would free up a lot of space.
Try deleting browsing shit history, cookies, etc. End up with tons of small things in there over time that add up.
Go through Control Panel -> Programs and Features, search through that list for any programs you don't use and remove them.

I don't use them ALL. I have lots of free space.

Hmm .. did you try uninstalling the registry? I think that takes up a good chunk of data.
