I've been trying to clean up my SSD, deleting around 100,000 files, but I can never seem to get more than 1-2GB of free space available. Is my SSD on its last legs? It's also been pretty slow when it comes to deleting files, but it still seems to work otherwise.

What kind of file system is your SSD using? That could affect how space is managed. It’s worth checking out!
Have you made sure to empty your recycling bin after deleting those files? Sometimes the space doesn’t free up until you do that!
Yes, I did empty it!
Try using a tool like Wiztree to see where your files are going. Just be cautious—don’t delete anything until you’re sure it’s not important. If you're considering a reformat, that could help clear things up, too.
Yeah, I'm planning on reformatting soon.
What do you mean by that?
