Recently my computer has been notifying me that i am extremely low on disk space. I am not quite sure why I am this low. I really dont have all that much on my computer at all at the moment. And I have had more programs on it at one time but never recieved this message. I have run disk clean up and that worked for a while but now I am recieving these messages again. If anyone could tell me what is going on and how I can fix this, I would be extremely thankful.

All Disk Cleanup does is remove files that shouldn't really be there, it rarely frees up any significant amount of room.

Uninstall any programs you aren't using, for a start.
Then run Scandisk (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools).
