Windows 7 SSD fresh install

Morgoth · Jun 13, 2013

i have an issue, i did a fresh instal of windows 7 and it seems to be taking up allready 50 gb's of space on my ssd :S tough windows folder it self states it only uses 13gb
and i have no other programs installed why is this taking up so mutch space
and how can i change my documents to a differend driver letter?

Pagefile and Hibernation files that will be.

To disable\enable the Hibernation file
At the command prompt, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off\on

how can i change that? force it to install them to a diffrend drive?
i just did that, still stays at over 50 gb

Pagefile can be done by right click my computer and select properties. Select advanced system properties.

Under performance click settings then click the advanced tab and it's under virtual memory

i did that, changed it to my D drive, but still using so mutch space on my C disk
damn i even cant get to C: drive in cmd it sticks at C:\users\skynet
but i can go to D: and use DIR to search for hidding folders

If you told it not to use the C drive for the pagefile try rebooting and it should delete it from the root of C: which you ca check if you put hide hidden files to off.

how do i turn hidden folders on for the entire drive? i know i can do it for each folders that are visable,

Start\Computer select drive C: click Organize at the top left select Folder And Search Options\Click the View Tab

And Thats were you hide \ unhide system files.

i un hided all folders, odd thing is, they don't use up to 50gb all together :S

kn00tcn · Jun 13, 2013

what exactly are you using to measure all these sizes, right click properties? so if you right click the drive letter itself, it says ~50gb is in use?

Morgoth · Jun 13, 2013

yes that is correct

AsRock · Jun 13, 2013

how big was the hibernation file and pagefile ?.

kenkickr · Jun 13, 2013

Have you disabled system restore? Also manage your recycle bin and temp directories?

Morgoth · Jun 13, 2013
