Click Start and then Computer (or press Windows + E from the keyboard).

To disable the indexing service for your SSD do the following: Disabling the indexing service will not only free up space on your SSD but will also boost the performance of your computer as it will no longer index any file that is written to disk. Because of this search on an SSD is much faster than on a traditional hard disk and you don't need the content of all your files to be indexed in order to do a fast file search. One of the things SSDs are most noticeably faster than mechanical hard drives is file access.

Turn off System Restore - will free up a few gigabytes of disk space.

Upon restart, your computer will use a page file with the size you have set, not one with the size of your RAM, which will free up gigabytes of space on your SSD.

Select Custom size and fill the initial and maximum size of your page file to be the same amount of space - 512 MB is more than enough if you have more than 4 GB of RAM (see the image on the right).

Click the Change button and select the drive where you page file currently is (by default C:).

In the window that opens click the Settings button in the Performance group box and select the Advanced tab page.

In the left pane click Advanced system settings.

Click the Start button, right click Computer and then click Properties.

Here's how you can decrease the size of your page file in Windows 7: Some people even advise to disable the page file completely, but I don't recommend this, as some programs need it and may crash if it is disabled. If your desktop/laptop has enough RAM (4 GB or more), you can safely decrease the size of the page file. The page file represents an area of your hard drive, which is used by Windows 7 in case your computer runs out of memory (RAM).
