I have a fixed-size partition C for my Windows 7 (I've given it almost 100 GBs and I don't download anything or leave it on C. I have Linux installed as well) and It's coming closer and close to being full.
I'd like to hear your suggestions/advice on how you guys deal with this issue/problem?

- Turn off hibernate if it's on (powercfg /h: off from a command prompt)
- Run the disk cleanup utility
- Run PatchCleaner - safely clean your windows installer directory | homedev - software development out of the box to get rid of superseded updates
- Delete temp internet files
- Use TreeSize Free - Quickly Scan Directory Sizes and Find Space Hogs to locate other space hogs (make sure you research before deleting)

Try running the following at an Administrator Command Prompt..
DISM.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
DISM.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /SPSuperseded
DISM.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
Beware that after running this you may not be able to uninstall some updates. Your WinSXS folder should drastically reduce in size however.
