    If you mean to make it not display ever again, right click on it, properties, uncheck the Start Sidebar when Windows Starts box, Apply, OK, right click on it again, Close Sidebar.

    Probably not worth the trouble.

    Turn off restore points, if you have not already. That is likely the biggest chunk. After that, you're looking at your pagefile and hibernation file settings, then the programs you have installed and then your user data.

    Mind me asking how fast your OS loads on that SSD compared to say your previous hard drive?
