Local disc(C) filling up for no reason

[Zastava_101]

Hello guys, the title says it all but let me explain it further. So i have SSD of 120GB which i use only for system(C) and 1TB hard drive(D) for all other data (games, movies, music, pictures, programs... pretty much everything). I moved My Documents folder including all libraries to D as well, only desktop belongs to C. Anyway when i first install these drives Local disc C had around 40GB used space and 70 was free like it was attended, but it kept filling up for no particular reason, and now it has only 30GB left. What i noticed is that every time windows get updated or my nvidia driver, drive(C) fills for another 2 gigs or maybe less (depends on size of the update). Now i'm aware of update backup and system restore files and i delete them every week. It saves me 5-6 gigs but it's still not enough. I use CCleaner for temp files and cashe, and Tune up for other non visible trash files, browser cashe etc...I used WinDirStat to analize my disc space and it showd up that Windows folder consume about 80% of disc(C) like it should. Keep in mind that i only have Windows 7 and drivers installed on system drive, nothing else. Then what the hell is continuing to take my dics space?? I'm out of ideas really...pls help!

Here is how to change the location of the file to your other drive.

And what am i getting with this? It will just start to fill up other drive instead of system(C)? I'm not really aware of what paging actually means...

When Windows runs out of real memory, it writes out some of what is in the real memory to the swapfile. Later, if it needs what is in the swapfile, it reads it back in. You will always have a swapfile. But the more that Windows needs to store things there, the bigger it gets. And the slower your system is whenever it is waiting on things to be written out or read back in, since storage (hard drive, SSD) is the slowest thing in your system.

Well thank you very much for an explanation, meanwhile i googled all about it as i could find and this thing might actually work. I just wish it stops filling or i'll be forced to reboot the system since there's nothing to delete to free up space... Anyway thank you for your effort, will definitely try this.
