I have a tiny 128GB SSD. To save space, I'm using symbolic links to store data that doesn't need the speed of an SSD to another (HDD) drive.
The problem is, Windows still reports the free space on my SSD as if I were still writing files to that drive.
Is it? How do I determine the true amount of free space on my drive? How do I force Windows to correctly report the amount of free space on that drive? And if the reported free space reaches "zero", will I no longer be able to write to the drive?
If Windows still thinks I'm writing to the drive even when I'm not, there really is no point in using Symbolic Links. (I haven't tested this with Win10. I'm using 64bit Win7.)
TIA
