Disk Cleanup utility allows you to delete temporary internet files, recycle bin contents, temporary files, web client files, as well as compress files that have not been accessed for a while to free up space on your hard disk. To Starting Disk Cleanup:

• Select Start and enter "cleanmgr" in the Search program and files box and hit Enter. Disk Cleanup brings up a small dialog box that calculates how much space can be made available. Wait for completion.
• On completion, Disk Cleanup window appears.
