Vista - Stuck with a full Hard disk :S

Guys I Hav a 40 gb hard disk full of nothin:S lol
No software installed except microsoft office and adobe photoshop.
My Os is taking like 35 GB:S mostly winsxs folder(18 gb)
I removed the restore points a while ago.
I removed the temp sp1 files.

Now i hav a full hard disk can't update my os can't do nothing except browsing the internet lol I feel like I'm using knoppix.

What can I do in order to get back a normal pc :S
All my pc specifications are well tuned for nothin.

Try doing Disk clean?
Then go buy an external hard drive of 150 GB for about 40 bucks.

Thank you anyways

> Guys I Hav a 40 gb hard disk full of nothin:S lolWhen you run Disk Cleanup on C: are you choosing "files from all users on
this computer", do you have a hibernation file, are you deleting "all but
the most recent" restore points and shadow copies? You could also try
downloading Ccleaner and make sure the Hot Fixes option is checked (to get
rid of all the backups of security patches).

in size with 58,000 files in 48,000 folders. It has both the
32 and 64 bit sets of everything. Among other things,
every version of every .dll for every installed application
is held in the winsxs folder. MS Office and Photoshop
have thousands of dlls. Winsxs keeps all this code for
application compatibilty.

mmmm did all this.
Deleted all my restore points, and hibernate files.
:S

How large is your \Users folder? It holds a lot of your data & settings,
like Pictures, Documents, email messages, newsgroup messages, etc.

My Vista takes up the following:
\Windows 17 GB
\Users 23 GB
\Program Files 8 GB

my user folder size is 1.2GB.

My eeePC has a couple of very small drives, and I'm running XP with little
room to spare on the system drive. I ran into low space conditions after
the February Microsoft updates. I used a little open source app called
WinDirStat. Ignoring the awful name for a moment, this app scans the files
on your drive and builds a block-like graphical representation of the files
based on size. You mouse over the blocks for file info, and you can check
the properties of anything that looks too big.

(In my case I found a system folder called SoftwareDistribution in the
Windows folder. From what I can tell, this folder holds the Windows update
distribution files long after the updates are installed, and to make things
interesting they all have UUID-like names to obscure what they are. I
checked the properties of the largest one and found that it was the .NET
distribution file. Deleting this and some others freed up a lot of space.)
