Your Pagefile.sys file at 192GB suggests it's relying on disk space instead of physical RAM. Removing it and creating a fresh one should free up at least that amount of storage on your drive. The pagefile shouldn't grow so large, which is why it continues to expand. I've noticed this issue multiple times before.

On Windows, execute "Disk Cleanup" and upon opening choose "clean up system files." This enables you to pick and free up unused space from updates. If the system has been updated for many years, you can restore a significant amount of space.

In Windows 10 or 11, a 250GB drive may not support holding the system after a certain period.

Samsung offers a free tool to duplicate your existing operating system drive. It’s very user-friendly and preserves the data on the old drive without any loss. I applied it when switching my workstation to a 1 TB NVME storage after updating to Windows. I also keep the original 500 GB SSD as a backup in case of any issues with Windows updates.

Refers to the idea that performance remains stable over time, even as storage capacity increases. The user notes consistent usage across years and varying storage sizes.

It was about three years ago. My boot drive is just Windows and a few software programs, totaling around 270GB on a 400GB partition. Most of it comes from Windows files in the Users folder, but even after managing them, it keeps increasing.
