Itunes laptop help!!

OK as many of you know, I have a new laptop. I love it very much but I am having a bit of a problem. I imported my old itunes library (some 5,000 songs/podcasts,etc) and successfully got them into my itunes on the new comp.

However, I have downloaded some other albums, and I noticed the other day that my C drive was almost full, something I can't comprehend on a 200GB hard drive. How is this possible? Under the system properties, it says: 14.6 GB free of 178 GB on C Drive (the rest of the 200GB is being used by the D drive HP Recovery (whatever that is).

I have cleared temp files, deleted offline content, ran a disk defrag and disk cleanup. This laptop is all of 3 months old. I have not gone nuts installing loads of programs on it; in fact, I have only installed MSN messenger, firefox, itunes/quicktime, and utorrent.

Second, and more important question, I have an external hard drive that I use to back up all important stuff (docs, pics, music, etc) and I am thinking of moving the folders/albums off the laptop in an attempt to increase space on the drive. However, I know from experience that if I do that, the majority of my itunes library will go missing (very annoying!!)

Is there a way to free some space up by moving the folders onto the ex-h.d. without losing my itunes library? There's got to be a way!!

Thanks!
A very frustrated Katie
