Hey everyone, I recently got an ssd to use as a boot drive and so I am quite wary of how my disk is being used and today I came across a folder named WinSXS (C:\Windows\winsxs) and this occupied a space of 10gb so after a bit of research I came across a command which cleaned my winsxs folder by 4gb, it deletes the backups that win 7 sp1 creates when installing so when you run this command you will not be able to uninstall sp1. So run command prompt in administrator and cut and paste this command :
DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /SpSuperseded
Windows vista sp1 users can run a utility named VSP1CLN, run then cut and paste VSP1CLN click enter.
Vista sp2 users have a similar tool named COMPCLN.EXE
Hope this helps
