I'm not going to get into my "i've been looking for over 3 years" speech...Daveman said:

are you left with 13.6 gigs of free space or you 70 GB turned into a 13.6?MrBrightside919 said:
if its the first case then use ccleaner or cleanup! (with the exclamation mark) and, how big WoW is?
if is the second maybe you have a corrupted partiton or sectors in this case you would need more specialized help to restore the partition or sectors, or you could just format the drive.
just to check, does your hard drive has more than one partition and are you trying to instal the game in the smaller one?
three years!? wow, sucks to be you, but whatever the reason if that's the case then playing a game with a subscription based payment system seems like a monumentally stupid idea to meMrBrightside919 said:
and the whole three years thing is weird because I initially had pity on you as you might have lost your job due to that ol' recession thingy, now I don't know what to think...
I'm left with 13.6, not the other one. WoW takes up 15 GB (which isn't bad compared to other MMO games *cough Age of Conan's 40 GB install *cough*)...esperandote said:
ok, try this.
My Computer > Click your local disk > click the downloads folder > hover your mouse over your software folder > Delete and replace it.
I was wondering wtf was taking up so much space. I looked all over my computer and found nothing. I then hovered over my Software folder and found it was taking up 16 gigs. I looked in it and everything was invisible, so I deleted the whole folder.
Edit: My computer was not messed up after I deleted it.

There's probably tons of little ways you can free up space but I'd guess that the 2 main ones (not related to stuff like games, movies, etc) are:
1. Temporary internet files - adjust how much space this takes up, can't remember the exact numbers but by default I think it goes to about 10% of your total HD space. It fills up pretty fast.
Go to control panel->internet options, then pick 'settings' under the 'temporary internet files' section and set it to something low. I just leave it at 1 meg.
2. Compress old files/system restore. Either one of these can hog up a lot of space. Look them up on google, I'm too lazy to remember how to address either one of them to free up space. It's not that hard, though.
