Download and run ccleaner for starters. Can't explain why you would be losing space instead of gaining it.

Plus after you delete files and programs and empty the Recycle bin. Restart and then defrag.

In windows 7, when you delete things, it'll increase from, say, 10GB free to 11GB free when looking at My Computer. Are you sure you aren't confusing the two?
