    What can I do, if anything , to free-up space?
    My Local Disk D in Windows Vista has a Volume of 8.30 GB.
    The Used Space is 8.01 GB, leaving 291 MB of free space.
    This is not even enough for 1 back-up of the System.
    What can I do, if anything , to free-up space?

    What are you using this D drive for and can you simply delete anything that's there ?

    I suspect that D drive is your Recovery partition and should not be used. External USB drives are cheap.

    Frankly, I do not know how it got so full. Unless I added or down loaded something to it by mistake.
    Can I go in there and delete the stuff?

    Did you read what I said? On most new machines there is a small partition, usually about 8 G, that contains an image of your system as it came from the factory. This is your Recovery partition. And you should leave it alone.
