I have a 60gb SSD with Win7 on it, but I'm getting a low disc space message. I think that some other programs, either through updates or installs, may have been put on there erroneously. Can someone tell me what my drive should look like with JUST the Win 7 OS on it so I can move all other programs to my 2tb secondary drive? As in what the only folders should be for just having Win 7 on there?

Thanks!

It is almost impossible to keep a drive "OS only".
Windows Updates are a biggie. pagefile and hibernation next.
After that, whatever you installed, letting the install do its defaults.

As I always say, a 60GB drive is right on the edge of 'too small'.

Also a lot of folders (temp folders, download folders, the desktop folder, my documents, etc...) tend to be on OS drive, find the ones that are there and if its posible clear them of move to another drive.

Also program that you install outside OS drive put in system directory a lot of files like c++ redistributables, fonts, libraries.... that makes that OS weight allways grow with time.
