What is taking up so much of my SSD storage?

[Ricky Martino]

Hi guys, so I have had my PC I have built for nearly a year now,

The way I have the storage setup is a 128gb Corsair Force SSD and a 2TB Western Digital Black Edition HDD
I have Windows 8.1 Installed on my SSD, and all the necessary programs that cannot be installed on a non-OS drive.

All my other files, programs and everything including 'My documents' etc has been setup on my HDD.

I do my very best to keep everything I can off my SSD to prevent it from getting filled, but I have been noticing for a few months now it seems to be filling up on its own now...

I have WinDirStat, but I am a little confused...
On Windows Explorer it tells me I have 10.5GB free of 11GB available.. so basically it says I am occupying 100.5GB

When I open WinDirStat it also tells me this...

But for some reason when it scans the drive, it only finds 52.5gb worth of files...

I am not sure as to where the 48gb is being occupied?

I have ran WinDirStat as adminstrator, no change.
I have moved my pagefile to my HDD a long time ago,
And I have disabled Hibernation.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

System Restore points.

Find your System Restore settings, and see what that is set to.
Control Panel

Click on the relevant drive, and select Configure

It will show you current usage and Max use %
