You could replace µTorrent with qBittorrent for a start.

Also:

• MP3Tag
• MP3 Diags

Why?

 

[Orcvader]

µTorrent is still pretty small and light. Keep that.

Replace VLC with Media Player Classic Home Cinema and set it to use LAV filters. Guide here: http://www.mediasmartserver.net/201...mpc-hc-for-all-your-splitter-and-audio-needs/



(Ok, so this is just a preference thing You can stick with VLC if you like it)

The question is which programs do you need?

 

[j6m]

Ever heard of OpenCandy?

Auslogics to defrag your drive.

I'll take a look at all the mentioned programs but it seems that they're all just alternatives and there is nothing in addition to what I have listed in the OP.

I'm just irked by the fact I have 36 GB left after a fully updated windows and all my programs. I was planning on having everything else on other drives but it is looks like I can afford to put some more vital files on my OS drive.

You could put your most used games from Steam/Origin on SSD instead of utilities you hardly use. Especially if the sort that benefit from quick access times of SSD.

Get 7-Zip once more, just to make sure it's on there

Not sure why anyone would be annoyed by having MORE free space on their SSD than they anticipated? It's not as if you over-specced either and spent more than you needed to as 64GB is amongst the smallest you could have bought.

If you're desperate to get rid of the space then get into virtualisation but tbh you're better off forgetting about it and using the space naturally over time. A handful of games would make light work of the free space.

But that's a good thing. SSDs like having loads of free space. When an SSD is nearly full performance usually crashes.
