So on my new build, I have a 32gb SSD. I know its small so I dont need to hear about that. Thanks in advance. My Windows 7 installation took up 15gb at start so I had about 15gb left. Fine and dandy. I decide to install some programs. Some didnt give the option to install to my other drive. Just Skype did this, as well as Google Chrome and my Nvidia Drivers. It shouldnt have gone below 8gb and saying that is generous. It is down to under 1gb now (red zone). I dont understand why. I have
-Disabled and deleted all my system restore points
-Deleted all the temp files
-Went through the disk cleanup process 3 times.

I don't understand. Thank you for helping me in advance
 
Solution
You need to move your page file to your other drive and disable the hibernation file.

32GB is not big enough to be practical for a windows install
