Hey everyone! I recently put an old SSD from a laptop into my new laptop for extra storage. I want to keep some files on it, but I don't have enough space to move them to my primary drive. Is there an easy way to delete everything else from the SSD without losing those specific files? Or would the simplest method be to temporarily move the files elsewhere, wipe the SSD, and then move them back?

One convenient way is to get a USB to SATA adapter to connect the SSD. You can then access it like a second drive or flash drive, making it easy to delete the files you don’t need or transfer them to the cloud.
Honestly, the simplest approach is just to copy your important files to a removable drive. Then you can clear out everything else from the SSD.
How big is the file you want to keep? If it's small enough, try moving it to cloud storage. Wipe the SSD clean, and you can restore what you need later. If the file is too large, grab a flash drive to store it.
If the easiest option for you is to move those important files to a flash drive or maybe create a free OneDrive or Google Drive account, that could work too, depending on the file sizes.
