Default Freeing up hard drive space?

Been having a few low space warnings from my C: drive recently,

and attempts to free space via add remove programs has met with limited results...


I stumbled accross this gem in my quest to free up space..

http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/

Very simple tool that shows graphically and numerically where you disk space has gone

I managed to reclaim almost 10gb in space of old movies and distro's left in random folders on the hard drive...
