I've been using my computer for a some months now and my SSD is starting to lose space for storage. It's gotten to the point where I can't even view my images anymore. It tells me to delete storage so it can function properly. I do that and It goes well. The problem is, as I import stuff into my hard drive, the SSD gains the same amount of data as well. How do I only import to the hard drive and just leave the SSD out of the way?

If you have windows  installed on it, perhaps windows is saving restore points on the free space? (ex, you move files, free space, windows uses it for the restore points.)
I've had a similar issue and it was due to windows saving restore points on the free space I had.

You can manage this by looking for "system restore"/"create a restore point" and then click "configure", there's options to see how much space it can use for restore points. Also you can delete old restore points using disk cleanup, and then do "clean up system files" and it will delete all restore points but the latest one.
See if that works? Hope this can help :)
