I do not install new software. I do not download new movies. It starts of at 90GB and then now it's 110GB. Slowly but surely the space is taken.
I don't know what takes it.
How do I know?

@terdon I don't think so. While his question is similar I believe it wouldn't have some of the same answers. With windows defragging is a good idea and can free up decent amounts of usable space. But as you may know defragging isn't a good idea on a SSD.– GriffinCommented Mar 30, 2013 at 15:24

2@Griffin there is no mention of defrag in the question I linked to, what there is is a nice long list of utilities that can show you what is eating up your disk space. It is one of many many such questions on this site.– terdonCommented Mar 30, 2013 at 15:31

There may be no mention and I did not state there was one. Defrag is still an answer even if it's not mentioned.– GriffinCommented Mar 30, 2013 at 16:17

@Griffin: As far as I'm aware defragmentation does not "free up" any space at all. Can you provide a reputable source to prove the contrary? Either way, defragmentation is not recommended on an SSD.– oKtosiTeCommented Mar 31, 2013 at 12:14

Several programs in Windows claim some temporary space, e.g. Google Chrome for some cache, cookies etc. A tool to quickly clean this kind of data is CCleaner. It is freely available. If after running CCleaner you have your diskspace back, you know it was taken up by temporary files.
