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
Here it is:
Drive looks good, use Windirstat to see what is taking up all the room. Windows Directory Statistics download | SourceForge.net
It was the system restore taking up 20 something gigs...
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
