Can't Defrag - Windows 2000 Pro Client

I have a problem with 1 win pro 2000 client. When i try to run a defrag, it
says: volume C: has 74% free space, but only 0% is available for use by disk
defragmenter....& i should delete or move some files....Please help... i ran
a chkdsk/f & it seemed to process fine. Any solutions????

Ok, i'll give it a shot again later, super busy now. I checked the paging
file, yesterday, its fine. The other things i forgot to mention, is that the
computer was taking really long to shutdown....it would say saving
settings...& go to a hourglass then wait wait & wait, i had to push the
reset.

You may wish to post your problem at one of the many Windows 2000 newsgroup,

I would hope you have searched all folders for *.tmp and *.dmp files.
Also make sure the temp IE files are deleted. If you have had multiple
users log on to the machine you have to dig that stuff out.
