Ridiculously Large Paging File

[Bladefury]

So I was just going about my day until my PC alerted me that my PC was low on space. I check on "My Computer" only to see that my 60gb SSD has only 1.2 GB left. Which was strange cause yesterday it had about 25gb left. The 1TB Storage drive was just as I left it. I used WinDirStat only do discover that my pagefile.sys is taking up 21.6 gb

 

What should I do?

 

My PC specs are:

--------------------------

AMD Athlon 64x2 4800+

MSI MS-7309 Motherboard

EVGA GT640 2gb

8gb DDR2 

60gb SSD (Boot) + 1TB HDD

Corsair CX430 PSU

Either get rid of the page file altogether, manage it manually and set it to a fixed size or move it to your 1TB drive. It can be set through the advanced properties in system management.

i usually let windows manage my page file. but, if your low on space you can change it yourself. i recommend you make it the size of your ram. quick google search will tell you how to do this. or here if your lazy http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/simple-ways-to-increase-your-computers-performace-configuring-the-paging-file/

Alright, limited the size of it to 10gb. Thanks for the help.
