Running out of space on SSD

PapaLazaru · 15 Jun 2011 at 20:51

Hi chaps.

I am running dangerously low on space on my boot drive, down to 2.36gb.

Now I only ever wants to use it for Win7 and updates. What can I delete to free up space?

1. Should I move the pagefile to another drive? Will it affect anything?

I also appears to have some ATI / AMD drivers on there which I don't think I need. I updatye through Steam now (am lazy) so assume all my ATI drivers are now held on my 'games' drive rather than the C drive?

Stuff like this

Any other windows crud I can ditch?

Disable hibernation - you will save space equivalent to the amount of ram you have.

Already disabled. pagefile is the only other large file which is obvious at 4gb. Might have to move it over.

Will try the other suggestions now.

Just saved 4gb by moving my pagefile onto my D drive.

Anyone got any thoughts about those drivers in the first pic?

Moved it from the best place it can be. This is major *thumbsdown*

Surely there is something that benefits far less you can move off? 2.5GB is an acceptable limit to run your OS with assuming a full 4GB of pagefile is allocated.

Why is it the best place? Because it is an SSD and my D drive is mechanical?

How big's the drive?

30gb.

Deleted all that old ATI stuff now as well.
