Remove unused applications, movies and images you won't miss, and any duplicate data. If you're on Windows, look at Users/your username/Appdata for saved data of applications you already uninstalled (you may need to show hidden folders). Also don't miss clearing the trash can and cleaning up the downloads directory.

KSP is pretty lean as far as contemporary games go, so you shouldn't need to dig too deeply to make up for it, but you can also cut off some of KSP's extra data. The launcher (and associated Launcher_Data directory) are pretty much entirely superfluous, as is the 32 or 64-bit executable (depending on your system) and their associated KSP_Data. If you don't use the KSPedia, you can trim that from GameData/Squad as well (and reduce your loading time too!).

I use Treesize Free to see where space is used on my hard drive to figure out what can be deleted to make space.  Also you should do a disk cleanup to flush temporary files and maybe old install files windows leaves around.

That disk cleanup link looks useful. A quick way to get rid of temp files is to type “%temp%” into the start bar, which brings up the temporary files. Ctrl-a to select all, delete, then empty recycle bin

After installing the KSP , I found that my computer didn't have more space to use , so now i need some ideas about making space .

While everybody is offering very good solutions, a question does come to mind.  How big is your drive?   If you only have a 100gb drive, then picking what to get rid of get's pretty tight.  But if you have a 2 tb drive, then you should be able to easily find what to get rid of.   If you do have a large drive, and you are out of room, and you don't know where it went (ie, you're not doing video editing or some such data intensive activity), then you need to be alert for rogue apps that are filling the drive.

I find my NAS (WD MyCloud) to be pathetically slow for any large transfers, unless I plug in. Understandable, but annoying. 

usually files like things i can stream as needed (videos,music) and backups. things like disc images usually are faster to emulate over the network than to just use real media and drives (you can even boot from it). great for storing big files that are seldom needed. much of the big stuff moved to the network you have a lot of space left over room for stuff that needs to be fast, like os, services, and applications. its also a lot easier to backup (raid array).

Thanks for your advice , I have deleted some useless software and files on my computer, but that doesn't make much space .

IN windows, there is a add/remove programs feature in settings (somewhere, used to be in the control panel).  Once the list if installed apps loads, you can sort by size, or at least look at the sizes.   That will give you an idea of what programs are taking up the most space.

It's not enough to remove them from the desktop, all you need to do is erase them from your computer ,

There is a related article for your reference :http://www.safewiper.com/tutorials/wipe-windows-7-computer-clean.html
