My SSD is filling up

[fighteeer]

Hey, i got SSD 120gb for windows and stuff, and then 2 another terabyte HDD's.
My SSD is now full and i dont know why, nowthing new installed, it just filled up with nothing.
I used WinDirStat to look what is soooo big there and...nothing.
Btw. my PC has 16gb of RAM if its any helpful.
Can anybody help me ? thanks

Hi, Try using treesize.

Pagefile and hibernation files.
Move pagefile to a HDD - or get rid of it - you probably don't need it with 16GB of ram.
Turn off hibernation and get rid of the file.

You can move your Music, Videos and My Documents folders to your hard drive (they don't need the performance anyway)

This method is the easiest:

Try running it as administrator., your volume shadow service may be eating up a bit of space. You may want to change the maximum amount of space VSS would use:

I typically set for a few GB on smaller drives.

How many GB should i use ? and will it work on win 7 ? the site says : "Applies To: Windows 8, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012"

I usually set it for 5GB or so, by default it will use 15% of your HDD's space. Yes it works in Windows 7
