Then you can adjust the usage for system protection via pc info - link to system protection is on the right side use the system cleanup to uninstall old update files and delete the former windows-install (if present). if everything is up-to-date and working you should check properties of your c: drive and hit the 'cleanup' button. my c: drive is at 70 GB usage at this point.ġst every feature update is handled like a reinstall - means windows will keep a copy of your windows-folder to give the option to go back. Today I have a 240 GB ssd for windows and another m.2 for games. My first ssd was 64 GB and yes I put windows and programs on it and it was tight but manageable.

Install games on a storage disk, not your boot drive, obviously. You're going to have to be more vigilant about maintaining your disk space-running things like a disk cleaner and deleting downloads you don't need any more. I do this after a clean installation of Windows, BEFORE updating, that way I get that space back quickly, not after 3 weeks.Įdit: be sure you're not getting to the limit of the disk at any time. If you search online, you'll find guides on that-it involves a registry key and won't take effect until the next round of updates but you'll get back around 7 GB or so.

You can get rid of the System Reserved space Windows shaves off your disk for Updates. I've deleted a lot of the Software Distribution folder in C:\Windows (some won't be removed but this would be in the 100s of MB if that much, not GBs) but be careful there. You can ditch some bulky downloads like your NVIDIA drivers (if you have NVIDIA graphics), and the NVIDIA Installer2 folder in C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation. Personally have used WinDirStat and JDiskReport, both work really well
