Here's a software recommendation that I picked up from the Security Now podcast. SpaceMonger is freeware which gives a graphical representation of where space is being used on your hard disk. This is really useful, because it's not at all easy to see in Windows Explorer where all your precious space is being used.
I tried it out and got back 3 GB right away from an old PDA GPS Sync software which had not cleanly uninstalled. A screenshot is below...
Apparently the author now has a paid version, and for this reason doesn't recommend the old version 1.4, but I found it perfect for my purposes. It's a really lightweight download, just the exe and a readme. You can download it here (note - select tab "Free Software", then scroll down a bit for version 1.4).
