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?

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.

Wow thanks a lot!

Some of these techniques I haven't done before.
