Turn off hibernation
move or disable pagefile
run disk clean up
Delete system protection files or even disable it

read what i asked please , ive replied i had done all them but pagefiles on(FTW) because this ssd isnt wanted to last forever(1.5years no faults s'far) , takes up a damn pciex slot and prices have obsoletified my ssd

im asking about one file location

C:/windows/installations

ive sent it to recycle bin with no ill effects so far.

Delete contents in:


C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Windows\Temp

Do not delete Windows\Installer, you will not be able to uninstall any software that uses windows installer backend, and it will quite screw up stuff too, most of the software today has integrated uninstallers into windows

AppData is hidden by default

You have 8 GB RAM, pagefile is unnecessary, makes your SSD slower and the whole system less responsive, also it's very unhealthy for SSD life and performance degradation.

Pagefile on might be needed like if he video editing or using photoshop that's why i said put it on another drive.

If not done already, what about moving certain folders to a secondary hdd: My Documnts/Music/Videos/Pictures/Downloads

You don't need more than 8 GB of pagefile, disable all other drives and put it on HDD if you want space in SSD, but beware it will lag a lot on HDD
