    I have a SSD and HDD and the SSD keeps filling up ?


    I just got an Acer Nitro 5 Model Number: AN515-54-51M5 . I have 1TB HDD and a 128 SSD. Some reason, even when downloading the games to my HDD my SSD still seems to fill up? I have only 2 Gigs left on the SSD.... Only had the laptop a few days, but been downloading games to play. Should I reset the laptop from scratch and see if I was saving wrong? Or is there a fix to where games/files can be moved easily to my HDD...?

    :)

    SSD filling up

    Hi, I have a 120GB SSD with my OS on and a 1TB HDD with everything else on. I have moved all my temporary file locations to the HDD, but my SSD randomly fills up. I used CCleaner to clear about 16GB from the SSD. About 10 minutes later, I went and checked
    the space left, and it was completely full. When I first boot my computer, it says that there are 70GB's free, but this fills up as well.

  3. SSD keeps filling up

    My SSD keeps slowly filling up, when my computer is on. Then when i restart my computer, i takes around an hour, and it says the message "configuring windows". When the computer is launched again, my ssd i back to normal capacity, but slowly fills up again.
    But the wierd thing is, it only started to happen, after i did a complete re installation of my computer.

    SSD storage keeps filling up on its own

    Hi Ash,

    There's a possibility that the files are just hidden. As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps below on how to display hidden files that's eating space of your SSD:

    • On the Search bar, type folder, and then select
      Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
    • Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives,
      and then select OK.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.
