*Reclaim Some Storage Space with a Few Simple Tweaks*

http://www.techspot.com/guides/232-reclaim-some-hdd-space/

In the age of inexpensive 2 terabyte hard drives, a few gigs might not
matter, but there are situations where you might need that extra space.

For instance, if you purchase a solid-state drive to contain your operating
system, applications and games, you'll grow to cherish every salvageable
gigabyte. There a few simple adjustments you can make within Windows to
regain some drive space.

For starters, you can disable hibernation. Hibernation basically writes your
current system state to a non-volatile memory source, such as your primary
HDD or SSD, allowing you to turn off your system and restore your progress
at a later date. To save a little more space, you could also reduce the size
(or entirely disable) system restore. Granted, it's better to be safe than
sorry, but there are better backup solutions out there.
