and this is the problem that I have

Today I formatted my computer installing as operating system windows 10

After it finished installed and before I start to install the basic programs I noticed that the space in my solid state drive was almost full showing me 95 Gb in use and 16 Gb available.


At the beginning I was thinking that the problem was in the SSD, so I tried with a different SDD But the problem still showing.

So my next step was to check the memory ram .

took off all the memory ram from the computer and I only installed one module (8gb) I turned on the computer and check the SSD and this time the space used was 20.7 GB .

In the first picture is a 500gb HDD because I try with a different hard drive but the problem is the same.

again turn off the computer and installed one more module for a total of 16Gb then I turn on the computer to check the space in the SSD and I found that every time I add more memory ram the space avalible of the solid state drive it consume.

When I add all the memory ram (48GB . 6x8gb) the space used is 95 Gb.

It may be your paging file, its size depends from how much memory you have, so the more memory you have and the bigger that file will be.
To change it:
Navigate to Settings->System->About->System Info->Advanced System Settings->Performance Settings->Advanced->Virtual Memory Change
Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
Select "No paging file"
Click Ok->Ok->Ok->Ok...
Reboot and check if it is still using too much hard drive space.
