Windows 7 has a handy file cleanup tool which finds and removes unnecessary files which accumulate on your PC over time. Many of these files will be old "temporary" files that are used once but now just take up space.
To begin the cleanup tool, run
cleanmgr.exe or type "
Disk Cleanup" in to the start menu search and run that.You will first be prompted to select a disk drive to perform the cleanup on, then click

OK:
