SSD Losing Space

[Arakkan]

Hello! Thank you in advance!

My SSD is losing space at an alarming 1gb a day or more. I am baffled at how this can be. I ran disk clean up and such and it LOST space, about 2gb of space to be exact, all I have on it is the OS, drivers, and steam with 2 games that are 10gb combined, and they do not update automatically. I have no idea what is causing this, I have also run CCleaner and trimmed everything I could that way, as well as running Samsung Magician to optimize it and hopefully save some space. The drive is 120 GB big and is a Samsung 840 Evo. Buying another and re-installing the OS is not an option as I do not have enough money.

Hi there Arakkan,

I would advise you to check out your System Restore settings. You can check these out as well: http://www.howtogeek.com/125923/7-ways-to-free-up-hard-disk-space-on-windows/
Also, it may be a good idea to run an antivirus scan.

Hope this will help,

Ah it was the system restore, it was hogging a whole 60 GB! Thank you so much! Now it can only use a more reasonable 10 GB.
