hi i have been trying to figure out what has happened to some disk space on my ssd. i have a 120gb actual is 111gb when i select properties it says that i am using 93gb and have 18 left free, i have hidden files showing my recycling bin is empty and i have done a disc clean up. when i look at properties for all folders in C: and add them up it comes to 60gb i have tried to select all folders and properties it still comes to the same so where has the other 30gb gone i cant find anything and its starting to annoy me as 111 aint exactly a lot of space to start with lol. please if anyone has any ideas please can you help

many thanks

i have disabled restore and deleted them it has clawed back 6.5gb will the virtual memory effect the speed of my machine or is 16gb enough

ok so i have set virtual memory to what you recommended but i also set my second hard drive to system managed as that is really only for storage and i havnt got a lot on it. i have got used space back to 67gb which that leaves like 5gb unaccounted for, which is a number i am ok with its a hell of a lot better than 30gb lol thanks for all your help

I think Windows update files get deleted when you do a disc clean-up, if you highlight all files on ssd and click properties how much does it say they take up
