so what i just need to do is to try what you said to me in the previous answer right ?
120GB is not enough space to sustain a Windows 10 installation in the long run, as you're finding out. Just after your original post I asked for a screenshot of your Disk Management window. The request was apparently lost in the flood of sidetracking replies, but if you could do it now, we might be able to solve your disk space problems.
Samuel with high physical memory you dont need so big size pagefile . you can customize the file size in minimum and maximum values. try to tweak and clean up your system using third party software like Ccleaner or Wisecare.
or move the page file into another driver.
Good Luck
This is how I see it. It is set at 6.4GB pagefile. You are using less than 1Gb pagefile and you have plenty of physical memory. So just decrease the pagefile to 1.2GB - 1200MB max and about 64 or 128MB minimum.
This is not going to really help you get more storage space that will make a difference. You can however, move a bunch of your personal files to your other drive to free up space. Do a complete disk clean up and deletion of system restore points which may give you some decent extra free space and maybe uninstall some programs you do not need or really use.
This is all I can tell you. The rest is up to you.
Good Luck!
