PCWorks: HD getting full what steps should I take

FWIW, only some retail drives come with that type of
software. 
OEM drives don't.

The easiest way to solve the problem is to get a larger
drive.
All new drives come with cloning software that will transfer

the
existing install and allow you to use the new drive as
master.
Alternatively, you could install the new drive as a slave
and 
just
transfer your data to it, but you might just be putting off
the 
inevitable.
You could also get easy cleaner:

Run the unnecessary files module and the registry cleaner.
This 
safe to
use and will find a ton of unneeded stuff.

Much of 
the size
is in the Programs on the drive. (about 6 gig)
