I have Pentium II IBM system
with 3 GB Hard Disk with two equal sharing.
In C there is only Window 98 and MS Office but i have only 40 MB spare hard disk in hand.
The reason is that previously i had a number of software installed but deleted later on. And in my views most of space is occupied by the unsed files.
I want to freeup my hard disk from such unused files without formating.
Do you have any suggestion in this regard.

You'll have to delete the files left over from the uninstalled programs, clean out the unused files, cache and temporary internet folder along with the cookies. Norton Systemworks 2000 and Win Cleaner Utility Suite 2000 are two packages that can do this.
If you have either or both of these packages
clean up the unused files, clean out the cache and temp folders,Defragment the drives and then wipe the free space on the drives. This should give you back the space that
was taken up.
