Just a quick question really, my 60gb SSD is has been full ever since i've had it and i always get "Windows created a temporary paging file" alert every time i boot up and then the alert in the bottom right about low disk space. I just wondered if i am doing my system any harm with this? All my games ect are stored on a 1tb drive but i just wondered if i should really address this issue or if it's okay to ignore?

Spec:i7 4770k,16gb ram gtx 670
 
16GB of RAM means your default pagefile will be huge, reduce it down to a more sensible size. Disable Hibernation if it's active, reduce how much space system restore uses, run Ccleaner/disk cleanup to get back space from temp files, updates etc.
 
I used to run on a 60gb ssd before i did a new build, as thevoice said, you will have to do clean ups on a regular basis (once a month or so).

The normal clean up won't free up much space, but might if u hav'nt done it for ages. The clean up system files will free up the most space, also the 2nd tab in that would also free up space, the clean/deleting of old system restore back ups (apart from the latest one).
