In Visual Studio are settings to change the path of temp files and the code database. Search in the project settings.

I have SSD and wouldn't go back, but there's always an option for a hybrid SSD drive. You can have capacity of standard HDD with speed near SSD (a bit slower though) and favorable prize (a bit higher than HDD, but nowhere near SSD). I'm thinking about hybrid 2TB to store the actual installations and DBs, while I will move projects and caches to SSD.

My VS2015 footprint is 1.5GB and my SSD is 500GB, , so I would say yes, there is hope.

Abandon all hope.
Basically, hope implies expectations. If you have no expectations, you're hopes won't be dashed against the hard barren rocks of reality.
If you do consider an alternative IDE that runs in Windows, I highly recommend Rider: Cross-platform .NET IDE by JetBrains

You quit programming because of SSD's and MS bloated software?  You obviously didn't love coding enough. No, there is no hope.

If you can't develop without Visual Studio, there is not much hope for you no. Stick to welding or whatever

Why would you have anything else BUT an giganormous SSD for each OS and build?

Yes, there is hope. Use SymLinks !
I had the same problem, an HP notebook with a 128GB SSD and a 2TB HDD.
In C: there is the O.S., Windows 10, I tried to move it to D: partition, but it is too difficult, even the HP support discourages to do this, with this HP notebook you can't choose where to install the O.S.
But 128 GB is way too little if you need to install softwares on C:
To save space on the precious C: partition I try to install all softwares on D: partition
The C: partition had 79 GB before installing Visual Studio 2017 C.E.
I asked VS2017 to install on D: partition, but it used only 5GB on D:, 40 GB on C:.
So, after VS2017 install, only 29 GB were left on C:.
After 1 hour only 19 GB left (I guess some automatic updates occurred).
I really don't understand why Microsoft can't manage to install VS out of C:
Anyway, this solution worked for me:
use symlinks to move some folders from C: to D: or another partition.
I did this:
create a new folder D:\_moved_from_C_ProgramFilesX86
move "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs" to "D:\_moved_from_C_ProgramFilesX86\Microsoft SDKs"
run this command from a command prompt, running as administrator:
mklink /J "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs" "D:\_moved_from_C_ProgramFilesX86\Microsoft SDKs"
repeat the same with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits"
This saved 11 GB on my C: partition.
I checked if performances on build were affected: yes, but just a little, about 4 %.
I used symlinks also with other folders that need to appear as C: folders
If symlinks didn't exist I had to give away this notebook.
Bye

I'm on my second system with and SSD. Both have had 500GB SSDs. Space is no longer an issue as I've had Visual and Android Studios on one of them.

Basically the whole Windows/Microsoft/.Net ecosystem is dead. You should just install Linux, GCC and focus on building software to run on a POSIXLY correct system.

I don't understand this. You were programming, and making GOOD Money???
And buying an SSD was the stopping you from enjoying programming?
So you took a physical job instead...
Strange. In my early years I always spent more money on my PC than on my CARS.
Those days are gone (because cars are crazy expensive)...
But my PC has 2 SSDs (2TB, and a 1TB), and 32GB of memory. But I had 1 SSD and one regular when they frist came out. I quickly calculated the time savings of the SSD and it pays for itself really quickly.
For $5,000 you could have a pretty amazing machine. Easily good for 3 years.
That's like $150/month for your #1 expense at this job...
I will assume that is less than 1 days take home per month.
I spent the last month TURNING OFF things with monthly expenses (home phone, etc) that save me that much a month, and it feels great.
But You could not pay me $1,000/month to go back to regular HDs. So much so that I have a NAS box and scheduled backups now because I am paranoid (we have had 2 SSDs go bad) about data loss with SSDs.

You misunderstand. A full install of the latest VS is way over 50GB which MUST go on your primary drive. You can choose the install path all you want, but 99% of it goes on the SSD, which cannot cope. All the rest of the crap goes to the secondary or tertiary drives, but there is an immense amount of shite which MUST go on your primary drive.
If your primary drive is an SSD, you are S.O.L.
I DO have an amazing machine - It, however cannot cope with a glaring f***up by MS

My PC at work has VS2003 (don't ask), VS2008 (don't ask2), VS2015, and VS2017, all full installs, on a 1TB SSD.
My machine at home has basically the same setup.
How is this an S.O.L. situation?

I have my system and most programs, including Visual Studio, on a 0,5 TB SSD. Those things don't cost much. Why would you NOT want to keep Visul Studio on it? Space isn't an excuse, 0,5 TB is plenty of space.

Herself asked for a photo of her late sister in a different size and crop to fit a picture frame in her new jewelry box - not a problem: scan the photo (I don't have access to the negatives), do a trial resize, print in B&W on standard paper, cut, test, tweak, and repeat.
Get a good image, tweak the coolness to bring out her sisters face a little more, print in colour on expensive glossy photo card.

Stupid annoying inkjets ... now I need to get more damn ink. How much do colour lasers cost to run these days? Hmmm...

Colour Lasers can be remarkably cheap to run these days subject to the usual proviso that you don't use manufacturer branded toner refills. I have an Oki that has and continues to do Stirling work. The other half though is very much into photography and whilst a colour laser will produce modestly good printed images they can't compare to a good inkjet.
Now having said that these days if there are images that she wants printed so that they can be framed and placed on a wall somewhere we take them to a 'professional' print house. I have been more than pleasantly surprised at just how reasonable the costs are. So we now have a colour laser for all the everyday printing needs (I still hanker after the paperless office that we were promised decades ago) which is capable of producing colour output at less than a penny a page, although mostly its plain black text at substantially less than a penny a page, and any specialist print jobs we have done elsewhere which, when taking into account the costs of maintaining inkjets, seems to work out cheaper in the long run.

hp?
At one time, printers did what they were told.
Then, like laptops were hard to make a buck off of because of competition so the manufacturing went overseas and the quality suffered as well.
Don't hate printers. Turn your ire to the manufactures.
If it's HP, get in line.

Epson.
Means you don't replace the print head each time, just the ink colour that has run out - so if Cyan expires, you don't have to chuck the Magenta and Yellow when you replace it.
But ... they do like to reject cartridges for no obvious reason, particularly if you buy non-Epson replacements.

I suspect the latter is your core issue. I've had an Epson injet for the last decade, never had a single problem with it.
Which puts it well above the HP that died a month out of warranty, and a "free" Lexmark (100% rebate with the laptop I bought) that I recycled after using up its included ink cartridge because replacements were so insanely expensive (and oddly enough only available from the store that gave it away).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

What is it, and what kind of gsm can it handle? I regularly use 220 to 250, and it'd be nice to go above 300 gsm and use "proper" card stock sometimes.
My BX305 inkjet handles 250 (just, with a little help to get started) but jams above that. A nice straight paper path helps as well so HP are right out the window!

It is an ancient Epson EPL-6100 (B&W I don't need to print anything but documents). I have to switch ON my old 32 bit PC to use it because Epson doesn't provide a 64 bit driver for it.
