SSD not keeping ANY space! HELP

[MrCombatTurtle]

I have a 30GB SSD for windows. There is nothing on it except Windows/Drivers and all of the local files. I empty it with CCleaner, delete files every time, but I check it 5 mins later and it says 0 bytes are free!

It's driving me up the wall, I want to just rip it out and throw it out of my window. I have tryed every 'fix' on the internet, E.G: Turn off hibernation, changing temp file locations etc..

Nothing seems to work. All I have running is Steam, Spotify, Chrome and Teamspeak, what could be filling it up?!?!?

30 isn't enough for windows.

A 30GB SSD is simply too small for a current Windows OS. Period.

The 'fix' is to buy a proper size drive.

Decent size recommendation?

120gb

120GB minimum. Currently, 250GB seems to be the sweet spot for size vs price.

120gb

A 30gb ssd will have less than 30gb available to use.
I tried using a 40gb ssd to test out windows 10.
There is simply not enough space to do a windows update which may need to keep old code until the new is installed.
Moreover, running at near full will be painfully slow and use up the available writes rapidly.

Buy yourself a 120gb ssd.
