You could also do a complete Reinstall of Windows Itself. It will free up space and probably give you a speed boost too.

Just remember to backup all your personal files beforehand.

Disable System Restore/Hibernation and shadow files. You will regain at least 20%/30% more space back.

I do this myself, but do a manual back-ups weekly on a External drive.
