When the hard drive space is getting low of Windows 7, you can do three things to get extra space i.e. to free some space of your computer:

1. Delete Documents unless You Need Them: Generally, all the documents which are created or worked by you are saved to the Documents folder of your Windows 7 computer. So, when you have documents like media files (images, music, and videos) and you are sure that those are not needed any more, delete them and make some space free of your hard drive.
2. Remove Unwanted / Slightly Used Programs: If you have programs that you no longer used by you then you may uninstall them. Often, people download several software from the Internet and give a try to that software by installing those software. My recommendation is that if you don’t need those type of software, uninstall them after testing those software.
3. Run Disk Cleanup: You may use the Disk Cleanup program of Windows 7, to delete files that Windows 7 no longer uses. Disk Cleanup program is really great to free much space. Using this tool, I have cleaned about 800MB space from my Windows 7 installed drive last month. If you don’t know much about this great tool, don’t worry. In the next write up related to Windows 7, I will write about on this great tool.
