Use WinDirStat to see what's consuming all the space first.

title says it all. 128GB boot drive i have pretty much nothing other than some misc. apps installed on it like MSI Afterburner, Opera, HWinfo and a few others. How do i clean it up?

Games shouldn't be in C drive, put em somewhere else so they dont get nuked on reinstall

If a user has an SSD as their boot drive, and that's all they can afford or desire to have, then the C drive is the only place to put it. If a game utilizes a lot of small files, an SSD will 100% trump a hard drive for launching and playing the game. If the concern is the game being nuked because of reinstalling Windows, a user can archive it onto other media in the event reinstallation is required.
