Not sure what system you are running because my Windows 10 Home only took around 8GB of my SSD.
There should be a clean application that Windows has by default under administration tools in control panel to clean up your disk.
Badspot:
Assuming windows 10, you can use powershell to remove a bunch of built in bloatware

turn that off or put it on a non-ssd
having pagefile.sys on my ssd killed it
I have a 256GB ssd, and 100GB are missing now
my files are using up 140GB, another partition is about 8GB, 100+GB is missing
I'm guessing it's from memory leaks in drivers causing my RAM to max out, use the page file, making there be too many writes to the ssd and wearing it out
