I reset everything and dumped about 150 Gb of old restore points and backups from 2 drives. I kept the original recovery files , I created a restore point and changed the backup schedule to just keep the most recent backup not accumulating them consecutively.

So I have a retore point , a recovery partition and both are backedup along with all data files on an external drive. The backup happens automatically every week. I also eliminated the backups on external drives I didn't even know where included in the backup schedule in the first place.

So now instead of like 137 Gb , my OSD has 35 Gig on it. That solves that problem and opens the possibility for a smallish SSD if Newegg is giving them away some day. Small ones, like 64 Gb are already being put on sale for less than $100 sometimes. I'll wait that out a bit as those prices are coming down fast.

Thank you everyone for the help!
