Also, as George brought up, copying off to another location not only frees up the space, but provides protection by having your backup in another location, especially if your database is on the same drive (bad).
I would use this approach. I think i would also invest the money to get another drive added (either internal or external). Storage is cheap these days and well worth the money.
