How to increase C drive partition space?

Why do you need to increase your C drive space?

As we continue installing new applications into the Windows system, the space continues to reduce and one day you may find the system partition (C: drive) does not have enough free disk space, and every time when the system starts, Windows always displays the low disk space warning as: “You are running out of disk space on Local Disk (C:). To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click here…”

Normally the performance of the system is drastically reduced since there is no enough resource for the computer programs to run properly. In this case, we have to delete the old or unnecessary files to get more free space in order to ensure the normal operations of Windows system. However the space which is normally recovered is too little and will soon again run out.
