    If you have used up 33.6 GB, it's likely you have a surplus of files, such as: Music, pictures, movies and documents.

    Depending on your system (not stated), you can do the following as a short term measure:

    - Go to "My Computer"

    - Where it says "C Drive", right click and then properties

    - At the bottom of the new window, tick the box that says, "Compress this drive to save space".

    Note that this may slow down your PC.

    Regarding the usage of Yahoo Answers - IT WILL NOT HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. Appreciate that Yahoo Answers is a website with pictures and text that is downloaded to your computer TEMPORARILY.

    I strongly recommend to ask a friend with any basic knowledge of computing to help you. They should suggest a new hard drive. To make it easy, you can buy a new hard drive for approximately £30. The case of your computer would be opened and the hard drive slid in place. Cables would connect both power and a connection to the motherboard (the large circuit board).

    Once this is done, you will still see 'C' drive (where your information is stored), and typically a 'D' drive which is your optical drive (for CD's and DVD's).

    You will also see an "E" drive, which is the new hard drive recently installed.

    By right clicking the "My Computer" link via the start button, the location of the My documents can be re-located to the new drive. The new drive may need formatting, possible by right clicking the new drive.

    Note this is based on typical computer config'.

    I hope that helps.

    You need to delete stuff.. Delete pictures , music and files you don't need or use .. Some programs are huge .. Delete the ones you dont need and you will free up space .
