Why Is 60GB Windows SSD Almost Full
Sep 6, 2012
I have a 60GB Intel SSD that I use as a Windows 7 Home Premium boot drive. I have done my best to keep everything off of this drive except Windows. I have 1 or 2 applications on it; nothing massive at all. In fact, the biggest App is 500mb. However, my drive has somehow accumulated 52GB of data on it. I click the properties of the Windows drive and it say its 14GB in size.
I have gone through and looked at the properties of every single folder on the first level of C and nothing is more than 500Mb Why is this happening? 40GB of information is a lot of data to just be unaccounted for. I have done all of the basic "Clean up" methods, emptied the Trash, etc.
I literally use this computer for gaming only, nothing else except maybe a quick internet search. There is no anti-virus installed, only games and hardware drivers.
Here are my system specs...
Intel 2600k @ 4.7GHz
x2 GTX 680 SuperClocks @3105Mhz (SLI)
Asus P8Z77-V MOBO (Z77)
[Code].....

I have a 60gb ssd and a 1tb HDD. I use the 60gb crucial m4 for Windows 7 only. The rest goes inside the HDD.
So I am asking, Will my 60gb ssd be enough for windows 7? I do all my installations on the HDD. But sometimes, Graphic card drivers and tiny bits of programs and minecraft get in the SSD. But will it be enough for a good 5 years of usage?
Currently, I have 22.4gb free of 59.5gb. For some werid reason, the amount avalible decreases very very slowly. I think its because of the programs I install like itunes. Their configurations get saved and I also have drivers in it. These pesky files get saved inside "program data" and "users".
And is there a way to make installations install on the HDD? When selecting where to install, I select the HDD but some files still go into the SSD.

What are the actual installed sizes of the different 64 bit versions of 7? As I understand it, I should go with "Professional" because "Ultimate" uses several gb more and doesn't do anything important with it? What about "Home Premium"- is it smaller? The SSD is only 60gb (A Corsair Force GT)... Obviously 7 is going to inhabit a huge chunk of whatever I am left with after formatting.
know if I can use something to create a custom install of 7?? You know, like that one program that makes an XP CD with only the features you want??? That way I could have a far far smaller 7 install??How important are the Windows 7 SSD optimizations?? Like TRIM and all of that?? Is XP 64-bit usable at all?? I am told that finding drivers for it would be impossible and nothing would ever run right .... I have to have 64 bit OS to use the 16gb of ram..

I have tried everything by the book and have no luck. Here's the problem, I have a 4 drive setup:
-60Gb SSD (Windows 7 Ult x64 + some programs) (c)
-30Gb SSD (i)
-1Tb HDD (h)
-250Gb HDD (empty reserved for Win) (f)
As the 60Gb SSD drive is full I want to migrate the whole drive to the empty 250Gb HDD. Of course, no need to say that I want everything to run afterwards without any re-installs (also the files on i and h). I have tried many clone software (Paragon, EaseUS ToDo etc) and the clone goes ok, but it wont boot from the destination drive. Luckily enough I still have the original c drive otherwise I would be stuck! I also looked at the Windows backup and restore, but by default it want to clone all my drives and I cant deselect them (over a Tb of a backup??)
Now what can I do to get this sorted? I just want contents of the 60Gb SSD (with Windows 7) on the empty 250Gb HDD. Also, when cloned, the new drive is not 'c' anymore. How would all programs/files work? Or is the idea that you delete the original drive and then rename the copy to 'c'? I probably do something wrong, but a clean install would take days (as web designer I use loads of software and not looking forward to reinstall all those).

I recently bought a new laptop with a 60gb ssd drive from toshiba. Under the Intel Rapid Storage Technology app, it shows the full 60gb, however under my computer it only shows just under 30gb. I have hidden files shown, and nothing is showing, so Im perplexed, seems to be missing 30gb, half the drive.

Check my Hardware specs for full information
Current setup:
C: Boot, Corsair SSD
D: Files, samsung HDD
D:/boot files/user/(all user account directories moved here, when possible) I'm wondering if it's possible to install games such as Assasins' Creed or Skrym, but install all game data to this folder?D:/boot files/programs/* Many installers allow you to define a custom installation path, But I am unsure if these games would ask for one or force me to install to the default directory?

My HDD died on my vista computer (Custom built) and I would rather use windows 7. can I just buy the windows 7 upgrade disk and be able to forget about vista? I lost my vista disk and stuff some where in my basement and decided it was a sign. or will I need to find my vista disk install it and then upgrade? if the later is true I probably won't bother with 7.

I installed Win7 2 moths ago and now my C drive has no free space. The total space of my C drive is 38 GB. When I clicked on every folder to see how much memory they are using I saw that everything on my C drive is using a total of 22GB.My question is where are the other 26 GB.Another very strange thing is that every time I use the internet to surf sites the free space in my C drive slowly become smaller and smaller.

I Have a Toshiba Portege R707 Running Windows 7 Home Prem, 64 bit. A few days ago it began getting sluggish and my wife finally told me it was frozen and would not boot. I have tried booting it to a repair disk, safe mode and using an original boot disk. It simply freezes and I am not sure how to get a copy of the BSOD as it flashes through very quickly. I am not sure why the HD filled up completely or how to eliminate some of the files/data to give windows enough room to start. I have Partition Wizard Home Edition Home Edition 7.1 and could clean it out for a restart but would like to save the Picts and Docs if possible.

I have a Dell Inspiron M5110, I'm using windows 7 ultimate but the recovery Disk is driving me crazy, it keeps on bringing up the out of space warning and then it will only automatically clean up maximum of 2MB. I have read many forums about this and tried everything but nothing seems to work and keeps on filling up the free space automatically. It's affecting the computer's perfomance, it is stopping the internet pages from uploading properly, I cant chat or sign in to Skype, so basically the computer is useless to me except for intertainment. What can I do to solve this problem, I have run out of Ideas and I'm just an amatuer at computers.

Just built my new computer but realized that I can't use the same Windows 7 disc/cd-key that's on my old computer because it's only one per computer when I thought it was 3. Looking at the prices on the Windows 7, it costs $119 for upgrade and $200 for full retail. From what I have read, when installing using the upgrade disc, it would detect my previous Windows version and if it's older than XP, or if there's no Windows installed, it would not activate Windows as it isn't a proper license and I would need the full retail one. Is this correct?

Built new rig Mon night and shows problem I can't understand. It's an i7-2600 w/Z68 board, and OCZ Vertex3 60GB SSD. I installed Windows 7 Premium with no extra's, then removed some components I never use, yet Windows is reporting that I only have 13GB of free space available of 60GB. I added the MB, LAN, Vid drivers, and still show only 17GB unused. I added up Program Files, Program Files (x86), User, Program Data, and Windows folders as shown in their properties and only arrive at a total of approx 13GB.

How do you switch to full screen in Windows Virtual PC like when your using XP mode but for other virtual machines like Windows 98 and 2000 Pro? For some reason it works for Windows 95, but it doesn't for 98 and 2000, does anyone know how to do this?
