    Full HD...What hapened?


    My 66gig SSD has Win 7 and about two to three gigs of applications. Why is the drive coming up as almost full? Removing obvious Log-Files and cached-data only clears some three gig or so.

    Any suggestion?

    Post a shot of disk management for us and we will be better able to tell you where your space is. Also you should fill out your system specs too.Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image System Info - See Your System Specs

    Drive looks good, use Windirstat to see what is taking up all the room. Windows Directory Statistics download | SourceForge.net

    So you were able to delete all but your last point and get your space back?

    Might also set your recycle bin properties to much less than the typical +45GB reserved from a 500 GB drive; 2 gb is plenty for recycling, especially if on a 200-240 GB SSD...

    Hi,

    I used to use a 60GB SSD for Win 7 but I would strongly advise turning off hibernation and then deleting the hibernation file to free up space as this will be the same size as your RAM. (e.g. 16GB RAM = 16GB hiberfil.sys)

    Turn off hibernation by opening cmd.exe as administrator and run the following command:
    powercfg –h off

    If you completely remove it windows cant make dumps for bsod's though. I would just shrink it to like 1GB.
