Just throw it away and start over..J/K.

Have you considered an external hard drive? I just bought a seagate 2 terabite drive at Wally World  for $119 US plus tax. It plugs and plays in a USB 2 socket and is very compatible with Vista (which I have on my laptop). Bought a second one to back up the first and a USB Hub is pretty cheap, then you only have to use up one USB socket on your comp.

If you move your music files and and art project files to the external HD, including renders and photo files that you have on your C drive, I'm guessing you'll have more than enough space left on your comp. Caution: If you do this be sure to copy and paste the files to the new HD before deleting them from your C drive! (Yes, I lost some stuff like that once when the power went out.)**

I'm sticking with Vista, myself. To quote Dr. Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory":

"My new computer came with Windows 7 . Windows 7 is much more user-friendly than Windows Vista. I don't like that."
