I have a 200 GB WD Hard Drive in my main rig that's partition into 2. 100 GB on the OS, and 86 GB on storage and they are both full. Can you give me any tips on saving hard disk space?

 

Note: I have no money to afford either an SSD or a new hard drive

Lifehacker just had a big post about cleaning up your hard drives and saving space.

EDIT: I found it! I hope this helps :)

Using Windows built-in disk clean-up is not bad idea... It can clean servicepack backups or recovery backups(sometimes about 5GB).  CCleaner is a way to go too.

However, if you have 150GB of data you need to have, there isn't much you can do about it (burning it on DVD or such things are insane)... just save money for bigger drive they are not so expensive these days.
