HD space


When I install something, even to the D drive it fills the space on the C drive aswell and it does not allow me to install... how do I go about fixing this?

Should I just remove the SSD entirely?

You already received several suggestions in this duplicate thread: http://forums.techguy.org/all-other-...ive-space.html

If you don't wan't to remove the SSD or get a larger one, then I would uninstall programs from C: and reinstall them on D:. Many program installers offer an option where to install the program to, and if you choose "D:", most of the files should go there. However registry entries, DLL and system files will still go on the C: drive.

You can also free up space on C: by limiting the amount of space allowed for System Restore points, limiting the amount of space allowed for browser history and cookies, and deleting temp files.

The safest is to re-install.
