Yes, that's correct.

Hello, I've been using a 60GB SSD as the C drive for some time now. Recently, I ran out of space. I don’t usually install large programs or media on it. When I first set up Windows 8, there were around 20GB left. If you’re okay with me checking the picture below and letting me know what’s unnecessary, that would be great. Thank You!

Removing System32 would free up space, possibly around 3.5GB. It might be worth considering. You'd likely only be able to keep Windows on a 60GB SSD and a few essential apps like Chrome. Other programs should go elsewhere.

The file pagefile.sys is consuming a significant amount of storage. Consider relocating it to a bigger drive using Windows Disk Management.

On a 60gb ssd, avoid installing other programs except Windows. Transfer your Microsoft Office, Sony Vegas, and Chrome files to your hard drive instead.

Disable the automatic adjustment of the paging file size for all drives setting on Windows 7. Select the desired drive, go to System Managed Size, and choose the option. Enter a value, confirm by clicking OK.

Consider transferring it to a different location, like D:\ (my HDD) rather than C:\ (my SSDs).

Thanks! I moved it to the page file on my D drive since I wasn’t sure you could do that.

Those tiny files are usually data or configuration items. Yes, you can move them if needed.

Hibernation, system restore, and the page file are obvious priorities. Consider moving the page file to a different drive or turning it off (most software no longer relies on it). System restore could be useful only in exceptional situations, but I don’t believe it’s worth the extra storage space. You might also disable hibernation if you don’t use it, freeing up another 6.3 GB. Disable hibernation. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. Type "powercfg.exe /hibernate off" and observe the large hiberfil.sys file disappearing.
