1. You do NOT want it to be full. You need to leave about 15% free space on it.
2. You do NOT want it to be "empty". Why have it if it is empty.
3. You do NOT want to transfer 'all your files' to the HDD

What, specifically, is taking up the space on your SSD?


Things like Doc/Music/Video, yes. Move them to the HDD.
Games, probably.
