Hi everyone. I would like to make a clean window 10 install on my SSD and at the same time keep the SSD for OS only, so that other files don't install on it (With an exception for drivers).
I currently came across a problem that almost every program on my PC made some 'Backup' files on my OS drive in "C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Local" and take up 15.2 GB. Most of them files are steam games which were installed on my other 1TB E: drive. (The games are still installed on other drive).
Another thing I came across and don't like is that I have a lot of duplicate files all over both drives. The last thing is that although while installation of win10 I chose my SSD C: drive for my OS drive, some part of OS installed on my E: drive, meaning that if I unplug the E: drive the OS will not boot up because the OS seems to be missing and will display the following error:
"Reboot and Select Proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press key..."
I installed the current OS in April 2016. While system scan for duplicate files I found files back from March 2016. Before the installation I did format both drives to wipe all data out of them. I am not a computer genius however I do have some experience with PC's. I never came across a problem like this and at this point I have no idea what to do. I appreciate all help
My PC specs:
Motherboard ASRock Z97 Extreme 4
Intel core i7-4790
Corsair Vengeance Pro (4x4)
GTX 660 TI AMP
PSU Corsair CS650M
HDD Hitachi Ultrastar 1TB (E: Drive)
SSD Samsung 850 Evo 120GB (C: Drive)
