I need to do some drive cleanup, as there is just 50 GB left on my 240 GB SSD.

Got a recommendation for a free tool?

If it's an O/S drive have you tried the 'disk cleanup' option? Get it to check the system files,you may find quite a bit in there.

After using the OS supplied utilities, you might want to try out:

Size Explorer will help you see what is consuming space on a volume by letting you see everything based on size:

As a domain admin, keeping the C: volume on servers from running out of space is a real management issue, and this tool helps alot.

Thanks, guys,
I was able to get 20 GB back with just Windows disc cleanup. That will save me from having to get a new drive any time soon.
