SSD slowly losing storage

[4utoenve]

Hi guys i posted earlier on here that i couldn't get my HDD to store data while my SSD is only used for OS well i fixed it but now everytime I install a program or game for some odd reason it slowly takes away data from my SSD i mean everytime i install a program it automaticaly goes to my C drive but i changed it to go to my D drive for storage but i noticed that i had 80Gb free at first now i have 76.6 and i only installed about 2 programs and i have a lot more to go so im wondering how do i stop this

Could be a few things including.
Temp folder
Downloads folder
System restore

What about the hiberfile thing. I did it once to get to of the space was being eaten up by disabling hibernate then deleting the file in relation to it. I used windirstat to fin where it was as it can get big fast

verify no hibernate file or move the location of hibernate file.
you can do a desktop clean to see what is deemed "throw away"
when installing an app, you can usually install to another directory or drive, just
gotta watch the prompts to install app on HDD not SDD.
my 120 SSD only has the OS and all the other apps (Office, Adobe CS5, temps,
cache for OS and browsers, etc) are all directed to directories on HDD or network
drives.

there are guides for SSD performance in OS usage. speed and capacity.

I changed download folder to my D drive and system restore is off and i turned TRIM on but idk about temp folder it should be on my d drive

 

[airdeano]

right click my computer->properties->system properties->advanced tab->change
there you can see where the pagefile is and can change to alternate drive.
