you try compress drive to save disk space.
you right click c drive----> goto properties--> mark compress drive to save disk space--> and apply .

Can you rephrase in plain English what your problem is?

Please don't casually suggest that people use drive compression until you know more about their PC acumen...
This alone can cause a world of grief for the casual user and isn't a good suggestion even for the savvy PC user.
Thanx for understanding.
