[jamie_r]

I recently did a windows repair and everything is going great , but when i open my computer , my 120gb ssd says there is only 8gb left , i had 50gb this morning , and everything inside is very small , i ran something called woztree which finds the largest files and the largest things was

32 files in C:/System volume information
this is about 45gb
anyone know what it is and where its even found in the computer ?

This folder is used to keep restore points. Go to Control Panel, System, System Protection, click on configure and change the size and delete existing restore points.

Use something like CCleaner https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download this tool has many available options.
Windows event logs and Windows error logs can consume gigs.

Use something like SpaceSniffer http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/download.html

please answer to this topic I'm sure this issue will be resolved.

hope this helps

thanks for replying after i looked over it a little i think its important for someone like me to have system restore points but how big would you recommend i have it ? cause it actaully says 45gb is being used

Since a lot of older restore points after some aging will be rendered useless I would recommend to set it around, 3gb. Should be enough.
