Windows 10: Do I need to do anything to reclaim space on an SSD after large delete?

I’m deleting 335 gb of backup files on a 512 gb SSD drive, in order to make space for file backups with new backup software. Do I need to run something to reclaim the space on the SSD drive, like I needed to do on with hard drives on older versions of Windows running Defrag, I think it was called?

Reclaiming Disk Space from Deleted Files

Are there any tools available that can help me reclaim disk space occupied by files I deleted?

I'm not referring to files moved to the recycle bin, but files which have been "permanently removed".

A while back, I noticed that when I delete files, I don't regain the space they occupied, and especially if the file is large, it is more noticeable.

To avoid losing disk space in this way, I use a shredder, which allows me to delete files, and gain the space they occupied. Recently though, I had to manually delete a large amount of files which could not go to the recycle bin, because of being too large.

Afterwards I noticed that the space occupied was not reclaimed.

I came across the sdelete tool, but
worry that it will mess up my system. I simply want to overwrite the free space, so that I can reclaim my 24 GB of disk space. Is sdelete the tool for me?

If I do use sdelete, should I use the command

sdelete -p 1 -c 11 c:

or...

sdelete -p 1 -c c:

I also came across bleechbit which offers the feature to clean the free space.

What do you recommend?

Reclaim Un-allocated Space (Formally System Reserved)

Hello,

I previously had run low on disk space on my Operating System Drive (SSD 250GB), my operating system (Windows 7) created a system reserved space (100MB) and placed the boot files there, this creates a warning on log in that a temporary paging file has been
created.

I have now cloned this drive to a new 1TB Corsair SSD (Including the system reserved partition) with Active Boot Disk software. I have reclaimed un-allocated space on the new drive which was not identified during the cloning process. As the boot files were
being stored on the system reserved partition, I conducted a "boot fix" on my Windows 7 Disc. This placed my boot files into the main partition and then I proceeded to make the main partition active and deleted the system reserved partition (now un-allocated).

Windows now boots from the main partition as intended,

However in Disk Manager, an un-allocated space created by the system reserved function exists and the Temporary Paging File Warning still appears on start-up, even though the new SSD has 800+GB of free space and the main partition is the
boot partition. Also, the left most partition is the 100MB un-allocated space that I wish to reclaim but the option to extend the main partition is greyed out in and not available in active boot disk software and disk manager. I have tried to make the disk
"dynamic" but it warns me there is not enough "space" on either partition to do so, which is simply not true.

TLR

I want to:

1. Merge the left most 100MB un-allocated partition (previously system reserved) with the main 800+GB partition
2. Remove the temp paging file alert on start up

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Wade.
