Windows Vista includes a very useful "Disk Cleanup Tool" which does exactly as the name suggests, and allows you to remove a wide variety of temporary and cached files that you no longer need.

You will be prompted to confirm you are sure about the deletion. If you are sure, click Delete Files:



The Disk Cleanup Tool will then remove the selected files and close, successfully reclaiming some diskspace:
