If your computer is letting you know that you've run out of space, it means that it has no more space to save any files. This happens quite a bit with laptops that are more than a couple of years old. Those came with hard disks that were quite small compared to what computers are coming with now. With todays technology, more and more we're using our computers for music players, video players, games, etc. Today's software programs are trying to do a lot more than they used to, so they also take up more space on the hard drive. Additionally, every time you visit a webpage, it leaves graphics and text on you computer. With all of the songs and movies that we install on our computers and software that is getting more bloated, it's no wonder we eventually run out of hard drive space. What to do when your hard drive gets full? Initially, clean it. In Windows XP and Vista, click on Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup. Select the drive you want to clean (C:) and click OK. A window will come up stating "Disk Cleanup is calculating how much space you will be able to free up..." This may take awhile so let it run. The next window will list "Files to Delete". At the top of that window, you will see how much space will be freed up by running Disk Cleaner. Check all of the boxes and click OK. Click Yes to perform these actions. The cleanup may take some time depending on what it needs to clean.
	Next, go to your internet browser and clean out the history and temporary internet files. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, click on Tools, Internet Options,  General Tab, Under Browsing History, click Delete. You'll see items to delete. Make sure to delete the temporary internet files and history. In Firefox, click on Tools, Clear Private Data. Choose Browsing History, Cache, Offline Website Data.
	Performing these steps should clean up quite a bit of your hard disk. If you find that you still need more space, remove some of the programs you find you really don't need. If this still doesn't work, you can upgrade your computer with a larger hard drive. You can probably triple the size of your drive for under $100.
