Uh. Maybe run CCleaner?

 

This. It will help a lot.

 

Are you absolutely sure you don't have any music or something on the drive? If not, CCleaner will do wonders on your computer. :)

I'm confused. Are you talking about storage space on SSD or RAM usage? The  troubleshooting is really different between these. As SSD it might be pagefile or some temp file. RAM might be some program having memory leak, virus or some weird background process.
