SSD Capacity Reached

[Terrifictez85]

Hi, i am a tad confused with the way my PC is behaving. When i boot my PC my ssd has 5.3gb space remaining yet as i continue using the space decreases. I have been using my PC for an hour and i now have 216mb remaining on the ssd even though i am not downloading anything onto it.
Does anybody know why this is happening??

Its most likely the pagefile or virtual memory. If you have a HDD move the page file to that.

How would i go about doing that? I am such a noob at times lol

Go into control panel, choose the system option and then advanced system settings on the left. Click on the advanced tab and finally click on settings under performance.

open command prompt as admin

TRIM Commands

Enable TRIM

Go to the Command Prompt and type:

fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 0


Disable TRIM

Go to the Command Prompt and type:

fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 1


How do I know if TRIM is working in Windows 7?

Go to the Command Prompt and type:

fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify

DisableDeleteNotify = 1 (Windows TRIM commands are disabled)
DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Windows TRIM commands are enabled)
