Clean Registry and Optimize PC
For some immediate ‘c’ disk space gain, delete all but the most recent Java version & update from ‘Add or Remove Programs’ (see ‘Control Panel’> Add or Remove…);
Also, delete old ‘Restore Points’ (if your system is behaving itself) like this:
Make a new Restore Pt.; then go to System Tools> Disk cleanup> (after it’s done examining the disk)> More Options> System Restore button @ bottom> Clean up> Yes.
One disk performance item is to ‘compress contents’ and ‘allow index service’. These help optimize file recovery speed & save disk space.
Start> my computer> right click ‘c’ drive> properties> general tab: here check both boxes & ‘OK’.
Don’t freak out: it may say hours (or days) to run, but this drops dramatically as the process advances. Just walk away and let ‘er run for the duration: it will self close when done.
Depending on the files & sizes, it may take several hours to do (maybe do it at night before bed?).
Download "CCleaner" (http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/)
Create a ‘Restore Point’; install it. Run.
Hi There,
Do the following…
Free up disk space. A hard drive that is close to being full will drastically slow down your computer. You can clear up space by deleting temporary internet files, empty your recycle bin, remove programs that you do not use, put important files on an external hard drive.
Another way to free up disk space is to use "Disk Cleanup" on your Windows PC. To do this, click "start" and go to "Accessories", go to "System Tools", and click "Disk Cleanup".
Scan for Viruses, Adware, and Spyware. These nasty programs can slow down your computer worse than anything. I would recommend purchasing software that can remove all three of these common problems.
Don’t automatically start up programs when you turn your computer on. Close any programs that you do not use that open when you start up your computer. These programs will run in the background and steal RAM (Random Access Memory).
Defragment your hard drive. Defragging your hard drive places all of your information for each file in one place.

Hi from France
Personally I use : CCleaner ( Piriform), it cleans everything ! Not only : cookies, temporary files, unused programs etc.. But also all the old keys let by the programs I uninstalled. When it’s finished well, my hard disk recover much space.
Have a nice day,
Cat.
If using Vista/7 turn off System Restore.
Looks to me like a malware or virus problem
Scan the system with a good Anti-virus( try symentac or mc afee ) and malwarebytes
use easycleaner! It’s a free program from ToniArts..It worked like a charm for me.
Try the free TFC (Temporary File Cleaner):
http://download.cnet.com/Temp-File-Cleaner/3000-2094_4-10628816.html
This handy little utility quickly targets and eliminates temporary files accumulated by Windows on any drive. Scans all accessible user accounts, deletes temporary Internet files, cookies, browser history, recent files list, Windows temp folders, Windows prefetch, Windows update uninstall files, empties the Recycle Bin, and more. All removal options can be easily configured from the settings page. The process is not stopped by locked files, and will reset permissions if necessary. There is no need to install, there is a single executable that can be run from anywhere. A detailed help file describes all of the paths being cleaned, and how to configure various options.
