for SSD's how do i clean the drive?

Solution


It's recommended to enable trimming for SSD drives.
You can check it by running a command prompt and type the command:
fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify

If DisableDeleteNotify = 1 -> TRIM support disabled
If DisableDeleteNotify = 0 -> TRIM support enabled

If it's disabled and you want to enable it, type the command:
fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0

Yes and No... if the SSD is given a fresh install of Windows. If you cloned the drive from a mechanical hard drive onto an SSD, then Windows does not detect the SSD and won't enable TRIM. If you have Windows 7, you can run the Performance Index to get it to detect and activate TRIM.
