    Hi All, Iv'e a 120 gb ssd that seems to be filling up of its own accord over time.
    I've been through everything I can think of to release disk space. I'm at the point where all that's left is the OS, Photoshop and Lightroom + some other small programs. Iv'e run CCleaner on it and I've roughly 12gb free. I'm thinking it should be around 40gb free. Any thoughts?

    You might check the Configure button on the System Protection tab of Computer->system Properties->Advanced System Settings, if you are using Vista or Win7. Shadow Volume copies can drain free space if you're doing a lot of Photoshop editing. Also delete old restore points with Ccleaner.

    Scan the drive with that, will point you towards the culprit.

    Thank you my friend. I just retrieved 75gb of storage by purging the cache in Adobe Raw. See the post above yours re Photoshop.
