Use that to fnd out what's eating your drive. It may take a long time depending on drive size and system power.
Also use this to clean out all the crap that Windows and Firefox etc generate. One time I cleared a few gigabytes of pooooooop.
1 – JCYeah, definitely use Jared's CCleaner (linked above/below).
To get rid of space in the meantime, go to the control panel, performance and maintaince, and then "free up disk space" (or something like that). You'll usually need to select a drive (probably the C drive), it will spend about 10 minutes calculating, and you can probably free up a couple gigs with the "Compress Old Files" option.
Also, if the Recycle Bin is full... you may want to clear it.
1 – JCLow disk space? What's that? 
Seriously, you might have too many copy images or videos on your HDD. Filter through your saved documents and weed out what's unnecessary, or drop the resolution/.kps of music and image files. I once ate up five hundred gigs of space cause I had a couple hundred 8-bit songs pumped up to 320kps with uncompressed data tracking. 
Also, stop downloading software. :3

Because Windows needs to double check that you are deleting something that is completely useless and all it does is take up space on the hard drive.

Actually it's because people are idiots and delete things they shouldn't have, and the recycle bin exists to protect the average person from scrwewing their computer sideways. Don't be a hater.
