 Are you looking to cut back on Windows 7 Bloat?http://www.iishacks.com/2011/06/23/reduce-windows-7-winsxs-folder-size/
This trick shaved off about 5+ gigs of unnecessary installation files hidden in the C:\Windows\winsxs folder. The trick only seems to work with SP1 installed but it does work. My recommendation is when you type "cmd" in the search bar of the start menu, that you right-click on the 'cmd.exe' link and then click 'pin to start menu'. Makes things easier for every time you need to use cmd. _________________  |

_________________ Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves. Man is not free unless government is limited. The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much. We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added. |

I checked my Program Files and Program Files(x86) folders but those only equal about 18gb and my Windows folder is still at 15gb but still trying to figure out where all that other space went, that's less than 40gb so I wanna figure out where the other 20gb went. I put all of my images and videos and music on my HDD and now I'm like WTF? The extra partition for system files is only like 100mb so that's not it either. [edit:] Just cleared another 3.7 gigs by running CCleaner. _________________ |
