My Samsung 980 pro 1TB has 669gb of used space, there is over 200gb free reported in Windows.

However magician keeps telling me I need to delete stuff because the drive is too full.

Why is this? I don't have OP setup. I've run various benchmarks in magician and using other SSD benchmarks and my performance still matches all the reviews
 
Only a guess but I've had it before where a program misreported remaining space because a particular used space was reached, if you copy a 1Gb or larger file to it to make the used space in Windows read 670GB, or more, does magician start reporting correctly again?
 
I was going to suggest that Magician was picking up some bad OP setting somewhere but if you've checked that and it's not set then..... Maybe set a value then unset?

The other thing is that WinSXS folder doesn't get read properly by Windows or magician (is that still a thing?) and so the value from Windows and from Magician don't match up? - Just checked and magician doesn't seem to count the WinSXS folder as it's about 6 gigs shy of what Windows / Treesize reports so.... weird.
