So I just upgraded to windows 8 and when with the choice of keeping nothing. With that, I thought that this would nearly wipe my SSD. My SSD is a M4 Crucial 128GB and I have 80GB on it already, with the upgrade I thought that it would bring it back down to around 20GB for just the OS. Anyone able to help me clear up some space? Thanks

no I didn't format the drive, since I was under the impression that the upgrade would delete everything else. Since I just upgraded, is there a way for me to format the drive and reinstall windows 8 with the upgrade product key?
