I built a computer about five years ago with the help of this sub. I installed a 128 GB SSD and a 3 TB HDD. The goal was to run the operating system off the SSD and save stuff on the HDD. After a few years, the 128 GB SSD was full, even though we were saving the majority of our stuff on the HDD. I would go in and delete some files every now and then to make it operate.
Finally, I figured I would just buy a 250 GB SSD, and I cloned the 128 GB SSD. Within a year or so, that has filled up with space as well. I can't find the files that are taking up this space. My wife, who mainly uses the computer, claims she doesn't save stuff to the desktop or the SSD. I don't know why it keeps filling up with crap.
Is there something I forgot to do when I was building this computer? Is there any way to set it so files are not being downloaded to the SSD? Am I better off just buying a 500 GB SSD? Any help would be appreciated.
