Can you tell me how do I know what I should delete to get as much space in a minimum of time?

Original title: my disk space is so small that I can't do anything.  Can you tell me how do I know what I should delete to get as much space in a minimum of time?

Not enough disk space

Hello

Run DiskCleanup - start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup

You may want to transfer some data, images or documents on removable media like USB keys,
External USB (my choice) or even CD/DVD readers (make multiple copies if the use of these).

-----------------------------------------------------

Info:

System restore usually holds 15% of disk space and updates that are necessary for running computer
consume even more. Backup - Options of recovery and even MS updates and those of HP, Dell
or similar manufacturers use the space if your charging system. There are also overhead for the readers are not
format to their maximum capacity.
