SSD more full after a reeboot

Backtothere · Jun 23, 2014

Basically I reinstalled Windows 8 on to my SSD following this link: Http://www.overclock.net/t/1240779/seans-windows-8-install-optimization-guide-for-ssds-hdds
I have yet to reinstall the programes I have on this SSD but somehow I have 5Gb more data stored on my SSD than I had before I wiped it back when I had a lot more programes installed on my SSD.
I noticed that I had a %appdata% file I noticed that I have a User file on my SSD sized at about 1.6GB however the files inside the USER file do not add up to 1.6Gb, Is there a way to move this File onto my HDD and how could I find what has been taking up all of my space?

Might want to see what size the Pagefile.sys and Hiberfile.sys are set to. Maybe move the Pagefile to a normal Hard drive. It is by default 1.5 of what your RAM is. So if you have 8GB or ram the Pagefile is 12GB

Thing is I had the same amount of ram and the same SSD before, nothing has changed...

Hmm. Well what I would do is go to Organize and then folder and search Options. then on the View tab tell it to Show Hidden Files and uncheck Hide System Files.

The i would start at the C Drive and check the size of each folder. if one seems big then open that one up. If it has a bunch of folders select a few at a time and check the size. There are programs out there that can do all this for you but i find this way (at least for me just because i'm usually pretty damn fast and can find what might be taking up all the space in about a minute or two depending on how fast the Hard drive is.

But still i would check the Pagefile and Hiberfile size. Once you show system files they should be right on the C Drive as well. If you have a HDD in there i would move the Pagefile to that. Hiberfile i'm not sure if you can move. Never had to because the only thing i use it on is my laptop which has a 750Gb.
