| Jan 17, 2022 at 17:48 | comment | added | anon | 120 GB is too small for a standard physical machine. People getting machines with this size of drive soon regret it. I strongly suggest getting a larger drive for Windows and apps you need. | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 13:45 | comment | added | Dom | Ok I made mistake it has only about 120GB. But still is it normal for Windows to use 90GB from those 120? Hibernation file is “only” 2GB as I am cleaning it regularly. | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 12:31 | comment | added | Dom | It is 250GB. Windows just keeps filling it with shi*. I have only Microsoft Office installed on C: all documents, photos, other programs, etc. are on D: | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 12:26 | comment | added | anon | I have put bigger drives in laptops. If your basic drive is too small for your needs I am not sure what else to suggest. Your local computer store may be able to help. | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 12:22 | comment | added | Dom | Well this is Laptop. It is easier said than done. Also I think my SSD is good quality and that this will happen to every new drive if I won’t find a way to force Windows to save elsewhere. Not mentioning reinstalling all the definitely legit programs I have. | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 12:15 | comment | added | anon | Your comment about Updates is what I mentioned in my answer. The only thing practical to move is Documents (photos, videos, documents). Even basic email (or cache) is better on Drive C: I am pretty sure now a larger C: drive is called for. | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 12:12 | comment | added | Dom | Well. The windows already updated and changed the location of the folders back. However I still need to move them to D: but I am not sure which ones can be moved. I already changed the location of the Roaming by changing it in the file options but now it is total mess. | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 12:09 | comment | added | anon | New user profiles do not have much data which is why the number is so small. What I have suggested is move the folders you put on D: back to C: to make Windows work again. Otherwise (if you do not have space) get a larger disk. The important thing is to have Windows components on Drive C: all together. | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 12:05 | comment | added | Dom | What I wanted to say was: If new user profile has only about 300MB of AppData, that should mean only 300MB is required by system and rest can be moved. Is that true? | |

| Jan 17, 2022 at 11:17 | comment | added | anon | My App Data folder is 16 GB. If you have room, then move tack to C: I clarified my answer | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 11:07 | comment | added | Dom | Judging by other profiles there are only few MegaBytes worth of files which need to be on C: right? | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 10:59 | comment | added | Dom | Which folders from AppData can be moved then? | |
