I have just installed Picassa [photo program by google],and now my computer tells me I do not have enough space to delete my cookies.What is going on?

Open My Computer, right-click your C: drive, Properties, How big is your drive and how much free space do you have? First way to gain space is uninstall old programs Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs.

You need to ascertain if you do have free space, or are you being "lied" to? So Open My Computer, right-click your C: drive, Properties, Look at the pie chart & note how much free space you have. Nearly full or not?

Next thing to do is a disk clean up. Open My Computer, right-click your C: drive, select Properties and then Disk Cleanup. Permit those boxes already ticked - but ensure 'recycle bin' is selected.

I suspect your recycle bin is full. Of course - once you empty it - you cant 'undelete' anything in there - so ensure there is nothing in the bin you want first by opening the recycle bin and having a look. (Think of the recycle bin as your waste basket - and emptying it as the equivalent of throwing the contents into the trash lorry !)

Next - trash any files you don't want - old movies - etc.

Trash (using add/remove programs) any old software you no longer use.

Once you have tidies up the drive - defrag it (from the tools button on the drives properties sheet)

Hope this helps
