Delete the Hiberfile. The command is powercfg - h off. That will save 8GB in your case. Then reduce the pagefile to 2GB. That will save another 6GB.

Another problem you encounter after a while is the growth of winsxs. That happens when you install and then uninstall programs very often because the uninstaller cannot delete the .dlls that each program drags along.
WHOA... NICE CALL on the hiberfile there !!!
Pagefile is disabled on C: though... but I'm back in the blue
winsxs is indeed taking up 7.5gb, but following the instructions at http://www.iishacks.com/2011/06/23/reduce-windows-7-winsxs-folder-size/
didn't change it.

I just recovered about 10Gb's just by deleting some downloaded .flv files. I didn't know they were being stored after I converted them. I also deleted some WMC .wtv files, but I had to restart my PC to regain the space for the WMC files.
Thanks for the post.
It got me thinking and checking folder properties. I'm now at 30Gb, with 20Gb to spare, which sounds more like it!
