Answer 1

You can defrag and do a disk cleanup.  Disk cleanup is located under programs -- accessories -- system tools -- disk cleanup.  Defrag is here too.  For a better clean use http://www.ccleaner.com/.

You can transfer all you files to an external HD, but it would be best to transfer all Music, Picutres, and Video only.  These things can take a ton of space.  Moving these will free up a lot fo space.

Answer 2

deleting files does nothing. what you do is you uninstall the recycle bin, so nothing is saved once deleted. then change the settings so that when you log out, all files not on the portable are deleted. its high risk, but is better than a crashed computer

Answer 3

rather less drastic than uninstalling the bin is to empty it & reduce the amount of space it takes up.

You can find this setting by right clicking on the bin.
