Well you can go into the folder options and under the view andn tell it to turn on the hidden files or you can move some files to another of the hdd's you have as a temp fix..

I would suggest adding an external HDD and get this stuff off before it crashes on you.

Uninstall programs that you do not need. Also get rid of files that you don't need, such as music, movies, etc. There are very little hidden files on your computer and are not the responsible for having a full hard drive. M$ hides them for a reason
