like everytime i tried to run a program it will take up like 30mb or so
Visual Studio Projects can take a lot of disk space. The biggest file is a SQL Server Compact Database File (.sdf) file. You can delete it when you are done - VS will create a new one when you need build your project again.
how do i delete them?
right click then delete. It's only one file. Same place as your .sln file.

If you are using Visual Studio 2010 (without having applied any of its service packs):

Step 1:
Check for IntelliTrace log files accumulating in the default location of:

Windows XP

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft Visual Studio\10.0\TraceDebugging

Window 7
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft Visual Studio\10.0\TraceDebugging\

They can all be deleted.

Step 2: Upgrade to Visual Studio 2015
