How do I make more room on my hard drive

open a command prompt and type:

powercfg -h off

then press enter.

That will get rid of your hibernation file

Hopefully that will release enough space to use program to find out what is hogging your windows partition.

are there spaces or do these all go together. I tried copying and pasting and its telling me it is no recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. if I enter a space then type it nothing happens except the prompt comes back

nothing happens except the prompt comes back

Yes, After you press enter, the prompt comes back. That is normal. if you had a hibernation file, it should be gone. hibernation files can be 2 gb or more.

Check and see if you have any more space on your drive.

You should now have enough space to run a little program which will tell what is hogging your drive.

I use Glaryutilities it has a lot of functions, including disk space analysis. The free version will be fine for this

Glary Utilities is perfect for these sort of tasks. I have used it for years. I usually do a weekly cleanup which includes running Glary Utilities & CCleaner [both WITHOUT the registry cleaner]!
