remove old ones via the second tab under disk cleanup.

On Windows 7 I found it does not report other profiles on the system. I was looking all over for 70GB and could not make any sense of what windows explorer and disk manager were reporting. A great tool to graphically see what is on your HDD is Spacemonger. It was also reporting that I only had 30GB left on a 150GB HDD. I did not see the other profiles until I ran Spacemonger as administrator.

I agree with jbennet. Tru opening System Properties and disable System Restore. Then, run Disk Cleanup and delete all junk files reported (this can take some time depending on how many files are to be cleaned). Run chkdsk /f and reboot system. Once you've rebooted, check the free space and post back what happens
