You could move it to your HDD but you can however change how much the Data file fills by editing the file named "pref" in the Roaming files

C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\prefs

But FIRST,
Close Spotify
go to:

C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Local\Spotify\Data

and delete all files inside of it. This is that stored data.
THEN, go to:

C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\prefs

Edit it with any program, even wordpad (don't use notepad) and enter this option in at the bottom of the list:

storage.size=*desired amount of megabytes*

Here's mine set for just over 1 gig:

storage.size=1280

Save the file, and then you can reopen Spotify. It will however need to store some kind of cache. But 1gb can be a lot for just music. And the IO can be a lot of extra IO for the SSD. Also epic privacy browser has a youtube download plugin built into the browser for free and I switched to that and have all my favorite albums and playlists saved to my Database.
Essence in the mist, that is the shadow with the grip.
