How to free up more space? I just 11.6 inch Acer Aspire S7 with 128 GB SSD. But my drive says only "69 GB free of 104 GB" even after I Disk Cleanup

move some files to a small flash drive such as: Patriot Spark 64 GB (USB 3 and very tiny)

Disk Cleanup won't dump your temp files under your username. you need to have hidden files and folders turned off and got to C:\\ Users\<yourUserName>\AppData\Local\Temp. You can safely dump all the files in this directory Depending on how much you surf the web and open and close files you can have thousands of files here. Just an FYI My 120 GB drive only has 93 GB free with only windows and Office installed Windows 8 takes a lot of room.

There isn't that much space you can free up. I recommend that you store all non essential files on an external drive of get a micro SD card which can give you up to 64GB extra space.

The super slim system that I bought was only 12GB. The was no "drive" to remove. You opened it up, put your hard drive in the bracket, slide the bracket and hard drive in the opening and that is it. That 12GB is never used by the system again. Why....I have no idea.

There is no space for a spare drive. You can replace with a SSD like I did but that's it. Just use the USB 3.0 with an external drive.

Because ~5% is partitioned off by the manufacturer for the purposes of read/write - as you do not defrag am SSD, this is required to allow the data to be cleaned up within the systemThis is still a 512 disc, which will actually mean ~500 for use, less ~5% for SSD specific cleanup tasking - unlike "normal" HDDs the 480 noted is the amount you will actually have to access

I believe that is probably because of all the preloaded things which take up some of that space. So when it says 8gbs it's including that as part of it. So in actuality you have 6.71gbs.

I'm pretty sure that you can replace the 128GB SSD with a larger MSATA SSD. I have not done it myself, but I opened up the laptop and saw the MSATA that's in there. I didn't see any place to put an additional internal drive.

My suggestion would be to reduce the size of the paging file (your computer is probably using hard drive space as temporary RAM). You have 1 Gig, so you shouldn't need more. Just go to control panel and find "system." (You might want to switch to classic view to find it faster.) Click "advanced" and then click "settings" under "Performance." Click the second tab there, "Advanced" and then there's a bit at the bottom labeled "Virtual memory." It'll say how much your machine is using. Click "change." Make sure the C drive is selected, then put in number in the custom size fields (initial and max); 50 or 100 should be fine. Make sure to click "set" and then "OK" and you're done. This happened to me on my eee and I couldn't figure out how I kept running low on disk space when I don't save anything on the C drive, until I discovered this resources hog. Again, since this machine comes with 12 Gigs of RAM, you shouldn't really need to waste harddrive space supplementing that. (If you want more RAM, go spend $25 at Circuit City for another 1 gig stick.) Good luck, I hope that resolves the problem. :) You can also search the forums at eeeuser.com for more tips on slimming your Windows down and getting rid of programs you don't need and such.

I installed a SSD (240gb) and for me, this swap greatly improves the speed. SSDs are not too expensive and I'm sure you can find one that will work for you. Also, there is a YouTube video showing how to swap out the SSD (search for Acer V5-122p)

In the Control Panel, under System and Security, there are the Administrative Tools. Choose the Create and format had drive partition option. The Disk Management window allows you to create or remove partitioned hard drives recognized by your system. When ASUS images the drives on this laptop, they create a small partition for the System Recovery, the C drive, and another drive on the SSD. The HDD is partitioned into two Data drives of about 500 GB each. On my system, I Deleted the Data partition on the SSD and gave that space back to the OS partition, giving me over 200 GB of space free.

If you are running the default windows install, it has another partition of about 24GB for recovery and swap and things like that, so that's your 104GB. The rest of the 35GB I assume is all the files that windows needs to work, all the applications and overhead. Don't forget there is a microsd slot, that's another 64GB for $50.

You are correct. Mine was split into a C and D drive, each with around 72 GB of free space. After you turn your N120 on, you have pop-ups from Samsung come up regarding their "Samsung Recovery Solution" and according to other reviews I've read, it is during this that you are given the opportunity to resize the two hard drives. What I read was that you will find 2 sliding bars which you will use to increase or decrease the two drives. You will have the 2 drives no matter what, your only option is how much "space" to give them. I am not very computer savvy and clicked thru these pop-ups as best as possible with out really unhderstanding them and wound up with 2 drives of 72 GB each. And I'm now told that if I want to change this I have to buy some software program designed to let you resize your drives and that I can no longer change it just with what I already own. This ticked me off to no end as all this "Samsung Recovery Solution" stuff comes up before you can get a look at the instruction/tutorial for the unit which is on the desktop of your unit. I was sorely tempted to say the unit was damaged and send it back for a new one just so I could avoid this now that I knew what to do with those pop-ups. This will pop up when you do the auto start registration of your unit. They really need a better paper, hard copy of the instructions/tutorial regarding the beginning stuff you come across after you turn your unit on. BTW, the above info regarding the sliding scales you use to determine your HD space is all 2nd to me from others in other reviews and from what I assumed when finally reading the tutorial...it is nothing I have seen first hand. I hope it all turns out ok for you, BC

Mine came with a 24GB SSD which is an mSATA drive used as a cache for the primary drive. It will not show up under My Computer and is availabe only to your system to use as needed to speed up program and OS startup. If you go to your device manager, it should show up under "disc drives."

Ok those left over gb is always gonna be there. Let's just say that's the size of the computers brain. If u delete em, ur computer is done.

OS is installed on SSD drive, I removed the 750 drive and replaced with 256G SSD. I did not raid the drives since I want to run games from the 256 SSD and keep OS and other programs on the 128SSD.

I've been using 120gb with another 120gb as extra storage. I therefore think 500gb is ample, especially if you can always get external storage later for backup. I run windows8.1.

I have a 250 GB hard disk, and less than 50 GB are taken by system stuff (windows etc.)

Give up now. This notebook has no place for a hard drive. It only has solid-state memory. That's it. If you want more use an SD card in the provided slot. You're only reasonable operating system options are as follows: Either you choose to use the Chrome OS provided on it. Or you replace the operating system with CHRUBUNTU, as I intend to. Both Chrome OS and open to one run well on small computers with low amounts of RAM and small processors. Windows seven is a memory hog and will completely die on the notebook if you ever manage to install it which I doubt you will.
