A year ago I built my first pc and used a SSD and regular hard drive combo. I have windows on the solid state. Over the course of the year I've noticed that as I install shit on my regular hard drive, random shit is still located on the solid state that I didn't intend to be. Did I do something incorrectly in relation to setting up my drives?

For example, I have a video game installed on HDD, but there is a random folder of random shit like replays/screenshots on my solid state. How do I fix this?

Some games are coded by retards and have hard-coded paths. Nothing you can do.

Is there a good hard drive managing tool for me to be able to find folders that are getting large without my knowledge? I guess thats one way of managing it

There's a way to make a folder redirect what goes into it to another folder located elsewhere. Ull have to Google it I don't remember but I had to do this for skyrim data

You can move My Documents to your HDD, most of that shit goes there. For other folders you can create symlinks or junctions. I really wouldn't bother with that unless those folders have like gigabytes of data.
