I am running a 120gb ssd boot drive but some files keep downloading to it when i just want my os on it.  I have changed my settigns in windows 10 to only download to my hdd but some files still download to my ssd.  Is there a way that I can make sure nothing else gets downloaded to my boot drive?

If you only have windows on your SSD you're basically throwing away 3/4 of your money because you're only experiencing a quarter of the benefits from the speed.

yeah i know that, i will most likely put some applications such as some games on it but i dont want a bunch of random files on it.  So is there any way to basically lock off the ssd so nothing else downloads to it

What random files??

Just change your documents and pictures and other directories to a separate drive.

It's in the windows settings, under storage.

To change download location you can do it from chrome settings.

You need to change the download location in chrome or whatever browser you use.
