Don't panic!!!  I started in Poser in Spring of 2004 and had a 40 gig hard drive, and used a 40 gig hard drive for Poser until this past March when my computer died and found it was just as cheap to buy a new one as it was to repair my really old one which would have needed practically all new components to fix.

What I did to survive with Poser and a 40 gig hard drive for 3 years was to use "External Multiple Runtimes".  Those are runtimes that sit outside of the main Poser folder.

I have a runtime folder for each figure's characters, each figure's clothing, each holiday theme, each theme etc.  This allowed me to burn some of the runtimes that I didn't use all of the time to CD (I didn't have a DVD burner).  Burning off content that I didn't use on a daily basis allowed me to free up much space.

Some runtimes that I have are:

Victoria 3 Character Addons (includes the actual figure, and her maps and morphs)
Victoria 3 Clothing
Michael 3 Character Addons (includes the actual figure and his maps and morphs)
Michael 3 Clothing
SP3 Character Addons (as with victoria and michael)
SP3 Clothing
David Character Addons (as with victoria and michael)
David Clothing
Plants
Vehicles
Props
Lights
Hair
Poses
Animals
Christmas
Halloween
Mermaids
Faeries&Angels

I have many more because I find that the more you separate things into category, the easier it is to find stuff when you need it.  Now, while I used all of the content in the above list, there was some content that I didn't need to have on my computer all of the time because I didn't use it often, so I burned the following Runtimes to CD (animals, christmas, halloween,  SP3 runtimes, and David runtimes.)  If I needed something out of those I would put it on my hard drive temporarily and then delete it again when I was finished my project.

For awhile I used a 20 gig external hard drive but it was failing and I lost my files more often than I even care to think about so I stopped using it for my runtimes.

When you download content, download it to a set folder on your hard drive and then burn it off to CD as soon as you can. That too will free up space because once you have a file in your runtime, you don't need to keep the zip on your hard drive, but at the same time you don't want to delete it either in case you need that file again in the future. So burn them to CD.

Also, use a program like CC Cleaner (free on the net) to delete cookies and temporary file that aren't always deleted when you close your browser..

Also, lower the amount of space you allow to your trashcan. I found by reducing the size it gave me extra space to work with on my hard drive.

I would really recommend getting an external hard drive, even if it's only 20 gigs in size. Just that bit will help and you can keep all of your runtimes on it.  Just make sure it's a reliable one. The one I had was used and tempermental.

I also used Poser file compression and compressed all of my files in my runtime folders. Compressing is like zipping and makes the file size a whole lot smaller.  IMPORTANT  I learned though that if you are going to zip the files after they are compressed, to not compress certain  files first.  Zip certain files in their uncompressed state (.cr2, pp2, and .pz2 files).  Those are the ones I had problems unzipping if they were compressed when I zipped them. Now it might have been something on my end with my CD burner, but a "not enough data to inflate" message when trying to unzip something is not a good thing to have.  So now when I zip files I make sure that those particular files are uncompressed and since I've done that I haven't had  a problem.

Quote - Thank you all once again for your warm welcomes =) I have been going through my computer to delete anything and everything I can to make the program fit LOL this is all the room I have left

So I've been busy burning songs onto CDs as well as pictures LMAO! I think it's easier to just buy a new comp eh?
