have you cleaned out all restore points?
try running a disk cleanup on your C: drive
start type in box disk cleanup, it'll pop up showing if there's things you can remove
So I recently reformatted my computer, maybe a little over a week or so ago and I hadn't got around to installing any updates or whatever, so I thought, it's time to do so.
I went ahead and downloaded the Media package for Windows 7 N as that's the version that I have and Windows Media Player is not included, I don't use it but apparently it needs to be installed for certain games to run which makes absolutely no sense to me, but heh, it is what it is.
So I went ahead and installed all of the updates and what not and my main C:/ drive is that of a 120GB SSD drive and prior to this, I had a good amount of space left because all that was installed on said C:/ drive was Adobe Master Collection and Microsoft Office, so I had about a good 60-75GB spare.
I installed all the updates that were available to myself at that time and then I proceeded to install this media package, it started to hang and not install like previously before and before long it stated that I had no space left on my HDD which I thought was incredibly weird as it had plenty prior to this.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/31vnmOJ.png)
I seem to have found the culprit as to where all of my space has gone and vanished from.
But to cut a long story short.
1. What the hell has happened to my SSD.
2. Is there any option to fix this issue short of re-installing the entire OS again.

Maybe try this
http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/
It gives you a graphical represenation of what's taking up space, you can find out what part of the windows folder is so huge, my windows folder is only ~26Gb for reference
idk bout you.. My "DRIVE" looks like this...
You're looking at a folder... the WINDOWS folder under your C:\ Drive....
So your space didnt' disappear... It was "used up" You probably have some malware or warez installer that generated those huge txt files..
