because you have too much programs in your hard drive, try uninstalling the programs you don’t need.
oh boy. Yeah you just ate up all your hard disk. Try your anti-virus, they usually have a utility in there where you can make a disk to erase your hard drive completely. Once that is done, then reinstall the OS. Be sure to back up files and photos you want to keep first as they will be lost forever after formatting the hard drive.
how big is your hardrive?
There are two questions here.
1. Disk cleanup only cleans up temporary files and such. If you ran disk cleanup and there is still low disk space then temp files is not the problem. Time to uninstall unwanted programs, archive unneeded files and photographs. Another option is to get an external USB hard drive and use it to keep files you do not access frequently.
Run disk cleanup in a few days because I believe it does not delete temporary files that are only a few days old.
2. If you installed XP fresh you should have had it format the disk to start clean UNLESS you have your data files on the same drive. If this is the case, back up your data files and reinstall XP having it format the disk then restore your data files.
