I tried to install the game in my Games mounted partition in my ssd with 15gb spare space (the folder has more), but the installer says i can't since the drive has only 15gb free.
I can't really get that much space in my ssd since it only carry basic software and windows.

What can i do? I bet nothing, aside from cleaning ssd or going to the D: partition, just wondering though

I don't want to install it in my D: partition that would be ocd suicide

According to Steam store page, AC3 requires atleast 17 GB free space. And on my PC, it is currently using 19.8 GB, including DLCs though... and I am guessing it is gonna take even more space once they release TOKW: Redemption DLC... So I would say, partition D is the way to go.

Yep, AC3 uses 16.9GB of space on a fresh install. It goes up 17GB with patches. So there really isn't anything you can do short of cleaning up your SSD to free up the space.
