Help free up space

[allen200]

i did a clean install on ssd couple days ago. sys restore is disabled, i havent installed any major programs or put any large files on main drive, but for some reason it's reading 34.4gb used space? i expected it to be at 17gb or so, as i got when i formatted before with similar set-up. what am i missing?

win 7 ult clean install

Disable hibernation and reduce the size of the page file.

this stuff reduces usage size. it helps but im wondering why my usage size is double what it should be to start with.

Have you increased the size of your ram since your last install?

If it is not that install a program like windirstat to see what is using the space:
