Default running low on disk space

It keeps saying I am running low on disk space on recover
E and that I need to delete some programs. I have deleted
alot of my programs already and it is still saying that
it is low. I don't have hardly any programs running and
have 512mb of memory and 120GB hard drive. What do I need
to do? - Delayne Harrell

DeLayne;
You say you have 120gb hard drive.
You did not say how much is used or free.
How many and what size are the partitions?
What partition is Windows XP?
What is on the other partitions?
How much used and free space on each partition?

You also could have a virus, spyware etc:
Run an updated virus scan.
Run Disk Cleanup checking all boxes except "Compress old files"
Run Defrag.
Check this link:

Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spywa
http://www.lavasoft.de/ (Update if you already have it)
Or
http://spybot.eon.net.au/ (Update if you already have it)
