So I recently purchased an SSD and moved everything from my hard drive to my SSD. I have ran out of space on that drive absurdly quick with a couple games and noticed that my Program Files and Program Files (x86) take up the same space. I realize one of these is for backwards compatibility but was wondering if it actually took up double the amount of space on my SSD. If so would it be possible for me to move the folder for 32-bit to my hard drive while leaving the other on my SSD which windows boots off of? Thanks in advance.

I've got a Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2 TB and a Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB SSD.
So what consumes the actual space on your SSD?
Apart from games, applications are generally pretty small.

Install and run either WinDirStat, or WizTree.

Run as Administrator, selecting only the drive in question.
Post a screencap here.

Also, a screencap of your Disk Management window.
