Maybe Windows updates are filling the drive? 

You might want to read my guide to setting up the drives in Windows 10 (one for OS one for storage)

I just built my PC and I have a 850 Evo 250 GB SSD for my OS and games and a 1TB WD HDD, now my SSD started at 232 GB which I know SSD and other storages dont start at the exact amount of storage. The only thing I've done to my SSD is boot my OS (windows 10) to my SSD any that is all and I'm already down to 200 GB, I've notice it was going down when I boot up my PC and was just wondering if there is any solution to fixing on why my ssd gb is going down without any activity. Note that I have already moved all the files like downloads,pictures,docs etc files to my hdd.

Have you disabled paging on your SSD yet?

@Tran Paging is where the system uses some of the space on your HDD/SSD as backup RAM. This can be bad for the lifespan and performance of your SSD.

Navigate to Settings > System > About > System Info > Advanced System Settings > Settings (Under Performance Tab) > Advanced > Change > > Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" > Select "no paging file" for you SSD > Set > Ok > Ok
