If you have ample diskspace just tell outlook to stuff it.<br />
Disable the notice<br />
<br />
If you do need to free diskspace do it yourself.<br />
Remove temp files, temp inet files, defrag, remove old programs etc etc etc.<br />
<br />
But whichever you choose do it yourself and tell outlook to stuff it.

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
