There is no such thing as "memory is too full". You mean you've run out
of space on the hard drive.

With used computers, it is always best to do a clean install of Windows.

What you will need on-hand

You didn't say how large your hard drive is. If it is 10GB or less,
replace it with a larger hard drive (minimum of 30GB, 40GB would be
better if you can even find such a small drive any more).

If you need more help, please see this link for the details you need to
include in your next post:
