My computer has 5GB of free space left, help!?

I've installed a registry cleaner which I thought was supposed to help. I frequently run Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter. I frequently clear out all my temporary files. I've ran multiple virus scans, I have Malware Bites, Spybot S&D, and Yahoo SBC Protection, and they've picked up everything that they could. I don't understand why I have hardly any free space. Can anyone please help me?

Don't tell me to run Disk Cleanup because I've already done that.

Don't tell me to run Disk Defragmenter because I've already done that.

And don't tell me to install a registry cleaner because I've already done that.

I'm tired of getting the same answers, I need alternatives please.

Update:

Also, I don't have very much music or videos on my computer either.

    Things you aren't telling us are how much space is taken up by music, photos, videos... etc. You might look into getting an external hard drive to store things like that on if you have a large amount of them. Other then that, there isn't much else we can tell you.

    Here is what I use. It's a program called CleanUp! I love it. It cleans alot more and I ususally free up a gig worth or more every month or so. Wouldn't hurt to try it.

    HI Captin Spaz Monkey Here To Help!

    Okay listen it sound to me like you just need more space what i would do if i were you is get an external hard drive. They are not to expensive and you should put all of your documents on it (videos music ect.) To free up more space on your computer!

    I hope this helps!

    I think you just need to un-install some programs that you don't use or delete files that you don't need anymore. Otherwise, I don't have any other answer for ya :-/. Also, make sure you empty the recycle bin if you moved any files there.

    Do a search of ALL the files on your computer and sort them by file size. That should show you what is what.
