Advice needed on clearing up some PC space...

[jq71586]

I know this isn't really a computer help website, but I trust I'll get a quicker response from people's names I can recognize here and get helpful information.

I figured this is the right forum.

I have a dell laptop with about 33GB of space on it. I know it's not top of the line or close to it, but I just use it for AIM, to go online, and the occasional school paper. I don't have any video or audio files on the computer yet I'm almost out of space, I have less than 200 MB of room.

It won't let me defrag because I have to have a certain amout of room available to do so effectively. I've cleared off all the unused programs, used the windows XP task that says "free up space on your hard disk", it won't clear off anything more.

I'm not too computer savvy as you can tell, and any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Go blu!
