Full C: Drive

When I build my PC I decided to go for a 60GB SSD to put my OS and stuff on. Overtime my C: drive has been filling up as I when I install a program it seems to always install a bit onto my C: drive. I now have almost no space left on the Drive. 

 

What would you guys recommend be the next course of action to take?

I have deleted anything unimportant from my drive and make sure I install everything to my HDD but I now have less than 1GB left

 

I have a Corsair Force LS SSD if that's any use.

buy a larger SSD?

or clean install windows, that will get rid of a lot of crap

uninstalling stuff leaves files behind

Try a clean up first, but buy a 500gb hdd or just a 120gb ssd.
