My Windows-partition is filling up

[Siberian]

Back when I installed Windows 7 I made the C drive for Windows alone and made it 50 Gb. Now it's starting to tell me it's filling up and perhaps this is doing bad things for performance as well. What's the best way to deal with this? As for as I know you can't simply make the partition larger now can you?

Move the Documents folders to another Partition.

I installed 7 on 36 gig Partition and still have about 14 gigs free space. I put swap file on small Partition on second Drive, and Keep all User Data on different Partitions.

If there is space, why yes you can. Download/burn gparted, boot into the live disc and assuming there is space, stretch it out to whatever new size you want.

1) clean recycle.
2) disable page file in c partition
3) move big file to another partition from 'my document' 'my music' 'my download' 'desktop'
4) uninstall path/download file
5) clean 'temp' folder
6) clean IE cache

any more?
