More often than you think you'll have to do cleanup on your computer. Cleaning means delete unnecessary files, programs obsolete and identical copies of the same file.

The first cleaning to be undertaken, although more than a cleaning is better for regular maintenance, is to delete the temporary files of the system and several programs installed on your computer. You can do it manually or use programs like CCleaner to do the work for you.

To perform a cleaning with the goal of having more space in one partition now to the limit, we need to identify 2 types of files:

Large File
Dual identity file

Even if you think that your files do not fall into these categories should conduct an audit, it'll be amazed.
To identify the large files you can use the program http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/index.html where you can identify which files or folders occupy more space in the system and then choose how to proceed.
To identify duplicates on your file system can use this program http://www.bigbangenterprises.de/en/doublekiller that after a computer analysis will provide you the list of duplicates and it is up to you to decide whether to keep them for one reason or delete.
