Hard drive free space issue

[Captain Beer]

How does this happen? I have a 128GB SSD. I had 74GB free, I installed Nexus 2 for FL Studio after which I had 61GB free. Nexus wasn't working correctly so I decided to uninstall and try again, but after I've uninstalled it, I still only have 61GB free. I've made sure all the folders associated with Nexus are gone, I've restated Windows, nothing helps. Should I uninstall FL Studio too? Help please

Use WinDirStat to identify where your space is going.

Treesize view (free) is also great for finding storage hoggs.

Sometimes system restore is the culprit, simply turn it off or lower the size used, then you should see your space magically repear. Restart if needed.

Make sure TRIM is enabled. http://lifehacker.com/5640971/check-if-trim-is-enabled-for-your-solid-state-drive-in-windows-7

Also make sure your SATA controller is set to AHCI and not IDE in your BIOS.

+1 to System Retore.
Remove temporary files. Properties -> Disk Cleanup.
