4.6 gigs is a bit big, for XP. You do have XP, don't you? If you do, try deleting all but the last restore point. Those can take up a lot of space.

duks solution helped free up some space on the C Drive, but it didnt shrink the windows file one bit. I had the restore 'size' or whatever , maxed, so i cut that down to almost nil.
i am also trying to unistal some components i have never used. Some preinstalled dvd editing shit from 2002

One GB HDD space is cheaper than a cigarette these days.

You can delete all the blue folder names in you Windows folder...I've seen a couple cases where they were taking up 2+ GB.
They should just be the install files for each of the updates you have applied to your computer.

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

Also your swap file is on your C drive most likely. You can move it if you need to.
