Reclaiming lost HD space in SSD

I have a 60GB SSD drive. After a fresh install of windows 7 with some other core programs on the SSD, it has been sitting stable around 16GB. This fresh SSD was installed last august or so. From then till now, it has been slowly losing its HD space. Currently i am sitting at 5GB. That is 11GB of space that I have no idea where its gone too. I've done the SSD tweaks by setting page size, disabling hibernation, system restore points, indexing, etc. I've even found hidden firmware files by iTunes and even have deleted those. I've ran CCleaner but i still can't reclaim the lost space. Any one have any ideas as what else i can do?

PS: I've also set windows not to update itself to allowing me to pick what to download and what to install.

Could it be stuff from your desktop or contents from user folder/library (Documents/Music/Video/Picture/Downloads etc) which you might have forgotten to reroute? Same issue happened to me but that was the case cause i tend to dump a bunch of shit in my desktop and end up cleaning it whenever I get bored

sweet thanks! i just found out that the music library folder has 16.5gb in there in the iTunes media folder. is it safe to remove that?

its weird how iTunes would route it there since i have all my songs on my other drive. i now just went into iTunes and rerouted the dir path to my other drive.

edit: found the solution http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364
