Storage Is My Life
From ddrueding (I put it here because I had a devil finding it with the search feature):
As an interesting aside to this, if you have installed 7 SP1 and are OK with making it permanent you can get some space back by clearing the uninstall files:
Press the "Windows" key, type "CMD"
Right-click on the "CMD" and choose "Run as Administrator"
In the Admin command line, type the following without quotes:
"dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded"
This should take several minutes and clear 3-5GB.
I've tried it twice with success both times.
It works on server 2008 too.
