You have less than half of 1GB free on a 40GB drive?

Your problem is a simple one. You have outgrown your existing drive and need
either a bigger one or a second one.

Any suggestion that someone might make to help you reclaim some additional
space will result in a tiny (from a percentage standpoint) improvement. At
best, anything you do can be a stopgap measure. You need to bite the bullet
and buy a new drive.

Fortunatelydisk drives are very inexpensive right now. You should be able to
find an 80GB drive (thus tripling your present disk space) for somewhere in
the neighborhood of $40-50 US if you shop around on the web.
