Clear prefetch memory location as well to free up space used by some old files assosciated with programs that have been uninstalled.Type "Prefetch"in run dialog box to see all prefetch files.You can also delete old system restore points to get somemore disk space

But what about those files which are of those programs that you have removed. These are not deleted the moment you uninstall that software. Though freed up space won't be too much that way but the disk would be getting a little more cleaner.
