I use windows 7 and use 60 GB SSD drive. There was about 40% space available in the drive from a long time but today when I observed and checked the properties of the SSD, the free space was only 2 GB left. I saw the hidden files but I found nothing. Moreover, I Selected all the files and checked the properties of these files. It was only 30 GB. So it means about 25 GB of free space is being used by some unknown files. I used disk cleanup in windows and also used CCleaner but only 3 GB of space decreased; but still there is a lot of space being used. What is the problem here? Now as my SSD became filled out of nowhere; suggest me a solution to get rid of this issue.
