Wow tried to download a game patch last night and suddenly my SSD is full
had 16 gig on it the previous day.
Found out that itunes automatically backs up to C drive and it's a whopping 8gig so I change it and relaunch itunes and do back up again but alas it can't complete because I've not drive space. So I choose delete back up from itunes menu I get back up deleted and it's gone from itunes but it still phyically exists on my pc. ie it's deleted in itunes but I still don't have the HD space even after recycling my bin
Also all my apps redownloaded from my touch = 9 gig which resides in c://users/john/mymusic/itunes/
Further more my wife also is asking for her touch to be backed up and updated but this simply won't be possible I can't find anywhere in itunes to choose where all apps and downloaded app content is stored. She uses the same account as me but we have separate logins to the PC (naturally) I presume when I connect her touch it will of course do the same thing and copy all the apps again into c://users/john's wife/mymusic/itunes/ taking up another 9 gig of space that I don't have
I'm stumped for solutions to this
Found this post which offers a solution... rather time consuming but i'll give it a go
