My C drive is owned.

It has under a 333 kilobytes of space left on it. That is miserable. I'm running the C disc cleanup, and its taking forever, which means its working. I've deleted so much stuff that i don't use at all, programs and such, but I've run out of things to delete.
Its an 80 gig hard drive too. I have absolutely NO idea how the hell it got so cluttered. I have about 30 gigs of music on my computer, and probably 10 gigs tops of games, and other assorted things. I have no idea how i stuffed my C drive so much. Its ridiculous.
So far the progress of the cleanup is 2 bars in about 4 minutes. It looks like there are about 20-30 bars in the whole process.
I've gotten second opinions on it as well, and nobody seems to know what the hell is taking up so much room.
Happen to anyone else?
Edit: Update: I'm up to 5 bars in the cleanup process!

Clutter sure accumulates, doesn't it? I have a smaller HD I have to use since my 150Gb HD died, and I have to watch I don't overfill it too.

Delete the porn.
And the music.
NO ONE needs 30 gigs of music. NO ONE. That's THOUSANDS of songs. I haven't even heard THOUSANDS of songs.
Christ, how can someone have so much music? I have... 3.
3 songs.

And now that I'm over the initial shock.
Search your hard drive for anything over 50mb or anything labeled 'install' and scan the list. Delete anything you don't need.

If you right click on My Computer, then go to Properties, then Advanced, then Performance, you can move your virtual memory to a different partition and regain a GB or two.

80 Gig??
Dude!!!
160 Gig is considered 'small' these days!
I have over a terabyte of space, more than half full. I don't care what's there. I'll just add more.
Storage is CHEAP!!!
Get a bigger drive!
The price of an ounce of good bud buys 750 Gig.
Sheesh!

A lot of it is windows automatic updates and crap. I hate that.
Don't delete your music, thats insane. Get CCleaner much better than the windows crap. www.ccleaner.com
Also defrag weekly. And again the windows version sucks, PerfectDisk is the shit. http://www.raxco.com/products/perfectdisk2k/
I got my version with the lovely mininova..

Me too.
I'm gonna switch from RAID 10 to RAID 1 soon... The performance difference is null compared to crash recovery time vs. none.
I hate having to rebuild a RAID.
RAID is for servers.
