Also - if you've already disabled volume shadow copy, check on it and make sure it's not holding on to old snapshots unnecessarily. Open My Computer, right-click on the drive in question, go to shadow copies, and look at the "Used" column. If it reads some significant amount, and is disabled, click Settings, and change it to the minimum limit to clear out what's being stored and free up some capacity.
