1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    1. Uninstall old programs. Click "Start," "Control Panel," then
      "Add/Remove Programs." Go through the list and double click on any
      program you no longer need to begin the uninstallation process. Old
      computer games take up especially large chunks of space.
    2. Run the Disk Cleanup utility. Click "Start," "Programs," "Accessories," "system tools" then "Disk Cleanup."
    3. Run the Disk Defragmenter tool. Under the same "System Tools" menu as the
      Disk Cleanup, select "Disk Defragmenter" and run it on your old hard
      drive. It can take several hours to run, so plan accordingly.
    for wiping your hard disk
    1. Boot up your computer with an operating system contained on a hard drive other than the old hard drive.
    2. Transfer all files you want to save off the old hard drive onto a secondary drive.
    3. Click "Start," "Control Panel," "Administrative Tools," "Computer Management," and finally "Disk Management."
    4. Locate the old hard drive in the list of drives, right click on it and select
      "Format." Select a name for the new drive and a file system type and
      click "OK." Formatting will wipe all the data from the hard drive.
