Anything I can do to make more room? I hate these new games that I keep buying like Dead space that eat up like 8 gigs each! I also have tons and tons of music from itunes. What should I do?

When you finish playing, uninstall them. Problem solved. Seriously, I have to make do with 120GBs.

You could RAR the games you dont play.

Get a new harddrive... But other than that yea, uninstall. Is there really any point in keeping a game on your machine you have not played in months?

Uninstall stuff. It's not rocket science.

Seriously, Why not uninstall the games you know you won't play anymore and if you haven't finished them, then finish them and uninstall them.

Do like I do: buy an external that you use to install all your games on, then when you wanna play a game, hook it up on that. That way, you don't eat up your primary drive and cause too many memory gaps when you go to uninstall them. Leave your internal HDD for basic files, programs, and such. External for music, movies, and games.

I have a similar problem. I have 1 TB and I only have 43 GBs left...

Uninstall stuff you don't use, delete stuff. I have a backup partition on my hard drive and although I try and keep it nice and tidy over the last year it has got so unorganized I have duplicate image files of the same game even! If you haven't already turn off System restore or at least reduce the amount of disk space reserved for system restore. If you have another computer on your LAN then enable file sharing and store some of your stuff on that computer, this is a good idea for music and videos because you can play them on your computer over the network so you can still watch/listen to them even though they are not stored on your computer. Getting an external HDD is also not a bad idea.

If only 360's came with 250gb hard drives...
And he has posted this in the PC area, so unless he is talking about his modded PS3, i think he's talking about a PC :)"

Uninstall things you don't use. Not fucking hard. This isn't some 512 mb Wii memory "Fridge cleanout", this is a 250 GB HDD.
Also, 1 TB drives are shockingly cheap these days. I'm thinking of Raid 1+0'ing 4 1 TB drives next time I buy a new rig."

Defragment your HDD and uninstall games you don't play. Also, if you have a lot of video podcasts or stuff like that, get rid of a lot of them.

Take your essential stuff like MP3's and video files, downloaded updates for you hardware, any porn (c'mon you KNOW you have a collection), and game saves, and put it on a second hard drive that can't be touched by the fact you are about to reformat and reinstall Windows on your original hard drive. I never have a PC without two HDD for this reason, and after a year of running windows I always somehow accumulate tens of gigs of unknown diskspace that is always rectified by just cleaning the slate. Windows ALWAYS runs better and quicker after this in my experience anyway.
