The are several things you can do to increase free space on your hard disk. You can:

• Delete files (covered in a previous tutorial)
• Convert to NTFS (covered in previous pages of this tutorial)
• Get rid of unnecessary files manually (by deleting them in Windows Explorer, as shown in a previous tutorial)
• Compress files and folders
• Ask Windows to get rid of unnecessary files

The last two items will be covered in the next few pages. Also, subsequent tutorials will cover two more options:

• Archive files  using Winzip
• Move files to another storage device (i.e. back up the files).
