If you move the itunes directory to the spinning disks and then create a junction in C: where it was, pointing to the new location you should be able to reclaim your space.

If you do decide to go for a larger SSD, there is a wealth of information in this recent article. http://techreport.com/articles.x/22358/1
And hey it's only 13 pages long.

You have the coolest projects.
The junction point needs to be built into the program, or I'd have to create a subroutine, from what I can see. It does present a cool workaround, but it's WAY over my head.
What I've done is saved file trees and media folders and backups to a different drive. Once I delete itunes, I can drop those folders back in the new instance of itunes on the different drive. That should solve my problem.
Even if itunes burns down, I don't care. I'll start from scratch. I really won't lose anything.
