Hi...
recently i changed my laptops's windows and since then my laptop keeps warning me that there is no SSD storage left and i have to clean it up
i used Disk Cleanup but it still gives me the error after i turn on my laptop!
any solutions???
(sorry for bad English anyway!)
SSD storage has total 128 GB space btw

edit: Nope guys. it didn't work!
i mean there was nothing to clean up at all...
Is it possible that it's just a bug!?
is there any other way?
 
Did you upgrade Windows or do a clean install? If it was an upgrade look on the drive for a folder labeled Windows.old. Instructions for properly deleting this file: Open Disk Cleanup and look to see if "Previous Windows Installation(s) exists. If it does, and you haven't done this already, check the box and then click on "OK".

If that has already been done or did not free up enough space then try looking for System Restore Points and delete some of the older ones.
How to Delete all Old System Restore Points - Windows 10

1) Open Control Panel > System and Security > System and click on System protection.
2) Under Protection Settings, click to select the System Disk and then click Configure.
3) Click on ‘Delete all restore points (this includes system settings and previous versions of files).

Post an update if none of that helps.
 
If you recently upgraded Windows, the upgrade process keeps the old copy of Windows around in a folder called C:\Windows.old. Since your SSD is only 128 GB, the space taken up by this old copy of Windows is probably enough to drop your free space to where it triggers that warning.

In older versions of Windows you could simply delete the folder. In newer versions the OS seems to protect it. If you're absolutely sure you don't want to revert to the old version of Windows, you can delete it following this procedure:

Or you can just wait 10 days. That's how long Windows lets you roll back the upgrade. After that, you're stuck with the upgraded version of Windows and it automatically deletes the Windows.old folder.
