Question: does anyone know how to clean unnessesary files off of a hard drive? 

Answer: the only way to get rid of files completely is to use something like killdisk to wipe your hard drive but be warned you will have to load the O/S and EVERY driver you need back on to it, people think that formatting a hard drive removes the files of the hard drive but this just is not the case.
