Need more space

I have win xp and I have 512MB. I have only 9000 GB's of memory left. Wow I thought I could never fill it. What and how can I find out what is taking up all of this space so I can free up some memory b/c I can't run a disk defrag b/c not enough memory. I really appreciate your help!!

 

wait this is confusing. You have Win XP and 512 MB RAM, am I correct? So how can you have 9000 GB RAM left? And I do believe you can run defrag at even 128MB RAM, its the minimum of 20% needed to defrag.

 

I swear to you I only have 9000 GB's left of memory and it says I need I don't have enough memory left. Where the heck did all of my memory go??? When I click on my c drive thing and properties the amount of space used is 61.3 GB and what is left is 8.68 GB.

 

Now I see what you are talking about. Lol kinda confused me there a bit.
First of all, how big is your hard drive and how many do you have?
Go to Start>My Computer
Under hard disk drives, tell me how many you have.
Now right click each one, choose prpperties, and tell me the capacity of each one and the used space.

 

I already did in the previous mesg????
I only have the one hard drive 70gb capacity 61.3 gb used and 8.69 unused

 

You need 14 GB of your hard drive free to be able to defrag
The following may help free some

Uninstalling unused programs
Download and install CCleaner
Flush your system restore points
Windows Disk Cleanup

 

I think you can defrag with less than 20% free space it just takes longer. It should just ask if you want to run defrag anyway and you just say yes.

However, If you really don't know what is using so much hard drive space do a search in Explorer. Go to start=>search=>all files and folders=>What size is it?(specify size)=>choose larger than and enter 100000kb. This will give you a list of all files larger than 100mb. You may have created some very large unkown file. Otherwise you probably have a lot of music and video taking up the space.
