Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
Deleting programs you don't use is one way. Defragging also works -but you already did that.
Also, try doing a 'Disk Sweep' is you found the degrag by going to 'start' 'programs' 'accessories' 'system tools' you'll see 'disk cleanup' that will also free some space.
Try emptying your Recycle Bin, too. Just because you delete it, doesn't mean it is gone from your computer.

go into control panel, then add/delete programs. look at EVERYTHING in there, and delete anything that you haven't used for a while, or anything that you aren't planning on using in the near future. this should clear up plenty of disk space. hope this helps

Try doing a disk cleanup.
Left click the C: drive and click properties. You should see a button that says "Disk Cleanup". Click that and let it run.
Make sure that after you delete files, you empty your recycle bin. Files you delete from your computer are never completely deleted so you could think about downloading a program that will erase them permanently from your hard drive. I suggest SecureClean.
You can also try uninstalling unneeded Windows components. This is located under the same window as add/remove programs is. Uninstall the things you don't need.
Spyware can build up on your computer and take up a lot of free space, so it's a good idea to download a spyware scanner to get rid of it all.
If you do all of this but still feel like you need more free space, you could buy an external hard drive which hooks up to your computer via USB 2.0 ports.
Good luck!

A program called CLEANUP © created by Steven Gould , is wonderful for freeing up space that you could use in other ways besides copies or temp. internet files that you dont need etc.
Check his site out & see what you think of it after you've informed yourself.
I love this program & cant say enough good about it.
