Buy a program that "bleaches" the hard drive space.  Simply formatting the drive still leaves data retrievable, it's just not seen by Windows.

The latest version of Webroot's Window Washer can do exactly what you are asking. It has options for both "cleaning" unused disc drive space OR writing over the entire hard drive if you plan to get rid of your PC. It has a free trial period as well. \nYou can find the link for the "trial" download on the lower right side of this page:\nhttp://www.webroot.com/consumer/products/windowwasher/?WRSID=0da13aacf0e19957ec0dc21c40fb73a2

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for but it is a tiny program called Treesize that shows you a graphic representation of which directories and folders are using the most space, http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/index.shtml if you are looking for a drive cleaner/registry cleaner I will point you towards, CCleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/ at least some of this should be useful.

Reformatting the drive will get rid of all the garbage in your system.  You have the remnants of files that have been deleted, a pile of junk in your Windows temp file plus a load of other junk floting around.\n\nRather than formatting your drive, download Window Washer from Limewire,com - this will clean all the sheit off the drive and make the maximum amount space available to you.

There are different ways you could do that.  I would recommend going to Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup.  It will take a second, then let you know what stuff you can get rid of.  Make sure Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files are selected.  Then ok.  It will delete those files and also free up disk space.

Space on hard drives is not memory, it is physically on a platter. You might have another partition that you don't know about, can't see. Try a partition managment software (look on download.com to find some free downloads.) If not, I would reformat the drive.
