Hey! It looks like your SSD is running low on space despite using it mainly for Windows and a few apps. The total size of your folders adds up to 43.7GB, but the remaining space is only 7.5GB. Could be files are taking up more than expected or there’s some hidden data. Check what’s stored and clean up if needed!

Likely due to your page file and hibernation file. Try WinDirStat—it will display the space usage visually.

You need to identify what the files are by checking their names or using a file manager. Once found, you can delete them from your current location or move them to another folder as needed.

Use the built-in Disk Cleanup feature on Windows directly (search in the Start menu). It removes unnecessary files such as temporary data, old Windows versions, and occasionally clears the pagefile.

Thanks a lot, I'll give it another shot later. You're welcome—already tried it and saved about 1GB.

Your pagefile usage reached 32GB because of high demand. Would you like suggestions to lower it to around 8GB or less?

Shift your pagefile to the hard drive and lower its size to 8-16GB. If issues arise, consider keeping around 400MB on an SSD.
