performance

[David]

my pc only has 5% of free space available. I've tried
disk cleanup, and i've removed many files and folders,but
i still am not gaining much space. i've heard that
compressing my hard drive will free alot of space but i
cant figure out how to do it. i've also tried
defragmenting,but 15% of free spaced is required and i
only have 5%.some advice would be greatly appreciated

Buy a bigger harddrive?

How big is your current drive?
What is it filled up with?
Empty the recycle bin and probably
a good idea to reduce the space allocated to
system restore.
