I really need to get rid of shit from here.

It's running SO slow.

But I need everything  

I'm just gonna burn all my films to disk.

That'll free up some space.

What else can I do?

Yes it does, she might delete spyware and malware and shit.

Hella' fast.

Deleting that stuff may make things faster, but it simply doesn't relate to size of stuff on HD.

Storing a lot on your hard drive doesn't slow your computer down, but having lots of processes running in windows at startup, and while your computer is running slows it down.

The best thing you can do is reinstall windows (PM me for instructions) as this will leave the computer going as fast as it is brand new!

I had written a long explanation but then prssed the wrong button and deleted it by mistake :( if you need help installing windows PM me :)

No matter the operating system you have (I'm assuming you have Windows) you can easily assess this utility. You can either search for "defrag" or find it in your progams. It shouldn't be too hard to find.

Basically when you do anything on your computer, your fragmenting. This is a simple explanation that I found. It's probably in simplier terms than I could explain.

---

Computers do not necessarily save an entire file or folder in a single space on a disk; they're saved in the first available space. After a large portion of a disk has been used, most of the subsequent files and folders are saved in pieces across the volume. Fragmentation Maps [+]When you delete files or folders, the empty spaces left behind are filled in randomly as you store new ones. This is how fragmentation occurs.

---

It might take a while to complete but it may help you out.

Since you have a lot of spaced used up, you will probably need to move stuff to disks anyway.  But after you move and delete the folders/files/programs/etc., you still might want to defrag the disks.

I kinda don't have a disk because it was already installed.

Maybe you could try a disk defragmentation.

I do that about once a fortnight...
