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)?

 

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.

 

Missing Space in System Drive

A month ago i have updated my windows 10 version to 2004.

Post the update, there was a folder named windows.old which was consuming space in my C-Drive ( an SSD of about 238 GB) roughly about 18-20GB, and its obvious that this folder is available in my system drive post an update in windows version.

But i decide not to delete this, because any way its going to be deleted in 30 days.

So i always kept an eye on my available space of system drive around 175GB until it got deleted recently.

But after the windows.old folder deleted itself recently, now i can witness my available space of my SSD around 167 GB (i installed a couple of softwares btw), which i think i was supposed to recover my space of around 20GB on deletion of windows,old folder
but couldnt.

So i did this way to ensure my space in system drive, i selected all folders in my system drive including hidden ones and went for the properties to get the total space that all these folders are consuming and it was around 47GB. (i.e., 47 GB out of 238
GB)

So ultimately, my system available space should somewhere be around 191 GB (238GB-47GB), But the available space which am getting is 167GB. So what happened to the missing space of around 24GB. (191-167=24 GB)

What happened to this missing space of 24GB ???

Note: I've cleared my temp files using disk cleanup via system files as well.
