NO space - help!

[Barry1987]

There's a program called Tuneup utilities. If you buy/download that there's a feature which enables you to delete your hibernation file (mine was 17GB last I checked!) and delete any restore points. Deleting the later isn't usually recommended but if you're strapped for space then you can clear up between 2-8GB more from that.

I never use hibernation and find it utterly pointless.

yeah, its my thread!

When i bought this SSD (it was nearly 2 years ago), i can assure you i could not get 128GB for that price. That is about what i paid for my 40GB if memory serves me right.

It may be cheap but is it any good?

Have you actioned any of the suggestions? Turning of hibernation etc?

You've received plenty of useful advice. What else do you need?

The M4 is a cracking drive.

system restore was turned off a while back, hibernation, etc, all system restore points have been binned, only thing i havent done is looked at enabling NTFS compression, will have a read up on the implications first.

looks like i may have to buy the M4

thanks for all the help with this, much appreciated!

40GB is plenty big enough for windows and all of it updates. it shouldn't use more than 20-25GB at the very most. i'm using 24GB but 4GB of that is my pagefile plus over 1GB for office. i have hibernation & system restore disabled and all my games/documents/music/video etc on another drive.

my mans got it on lock ;D
