SSD almost full?

aimeeyoung2015 · Aug 16, 2017

I have a 250GB SSD that says it's nearly full, and I have no idea what could be adding up to almost 250GB on it! I install everything I can onto my HDD. My SSD has my OS (windows 10) on it, and then a game that's 30GB. The rest of the files are mainly drivers and things that have to be on the same drive as the OS. This is what it says under properties. I'm not sure why it's so full or what I can do to fix it. I'm not the most computer-literate person ever, and this is my first time having an SSD. Thank you for any help.

Can you go into the C:\ dirve and look at the properties of all the folders? Look at the sizes of them. There must be something that is hogging all the space. This needs to be found as SSD's will start to slow down after 1/2 to 3/4 of the space has been used.

start with windows disk clean up and then ccleaner. windows it self is 30g. also check to see what set as reserve partion for the ssd so when it ages there replacement cells. also see if you made a large swap file that not needed for ssd. or a ram disk on the ssd.

What I am suggesting is to use some software to see the folder with most data and check what files are in it. I personally use Tree size, but you could use whatever you want. After that let us know there could be a lot of tepm files left on primary hdd during installation that could be remove because they are not need it after installation process finish.

windirstat will help

Use disk cleanup, I bet you have GB of Windows updates and if you have upgraded the Windows version, GB of the old Windows install folders hidden away.
