Format and reinstall.

Or Format and install linux/bsd.

Formatting is the easiest.
Check out This article on getting rid of the really hidden files.

THE EASIEST WAY

is to carefully follow these steps.  the article goes in to pretty deep shit, this cuts to the chase:

open notepad

open c:\autoexec.bat

at the bottom of the file, add the following lines EXACTLY:

deltree /y c:\windows\history
deltree /y c:\windows\tempor~1
deltree /y c:\windows\cookies

this covers your tracks by removing the directories which contain this info just before windows will automatically recreat them, then the massive windows swap file overwrites them all so to destroy all the data after about 5 or 6 reboots, plus a ton of space is freed

you will have no history to fall back on

your computer will not automatically sign in

i suggest you download mozilla


there is email saved on there too but i never used lookout express no i dunno


and i suggest you read up on stuff b4 asking, but linux ppl will always answer questions

A great way to free space is to reinstall (i do it every month   )
