how to free up hard drive space on tiny ssd
Waru:
god damn i am constantly hovering around 2-3 gb left on my main ssd and it's annoying as hell because i cant install anything on it.
install.esd takes up 4 gigs, pagefile.sys takes up 8 gigs wtf. so much stuff. when i open the drive in windirstat it's just a bunch of needed huge ass files and then a bunch of tiny ones wtff
torin²:
what else do u have installed on it
Insert Name Here²:
Windows itself takes up around 30gb even with un-needed stuff gone
How large is your SSD and what games do you have installed? 99.99% sure, you have a low capacity SSD and have a forgetton of large games installed.
Rally:
SpaceSniffer is a pretty good utility for finding large files
AutoBahn:
if you really need to you can resise the pagefile to 2-4gb since it’s just fallback RAM for Windows and it’s bad to keep it on an SSD anyway, but you should really weigh in your other options first. get rid of anything unnecessary that isn’t system related
