Windows folder of 70GB

Hello,

1.) Run "Cleanmgr" activate the cleanup of Systemdata -> Mark all checkboxes and delete the Data
2.) after Cleanmgr and reboot check the folder "Softwaredistribzútion" in the Windows Folder, you can delete this folder after stop the Windowss Update service
2.) delete the content of the temp Folder in the Windows directory
4.) check the folder "Logs", i think the data can be deleted

Regards

Christoph

Cleanmanager is the way to go here. Tipp if not admin start as admin might be needed.  I let windows compress tmp folder, too. It takes more time for accessing files there, but it is not a place everyday files are stored. Sometimes after hardware fault dump files are stored from MS which can take up big amounts off space. *.dmp files.

Hi,

why you don't check the folder "Logs" if i already say it in the first post?

Installer and winsxs should you not delete.

You can control the content of the installer directory

here a subfolder "$PatchCache$" exists, this content can normaly deleted without any problem.

But where the other tool cleaning up 30GB? Not in the Windows Folder or?

 but that have no effect for the Windows Directory !

what you linked ist the windows restore points which stored in the hidden folder "System Volume Information"

The space of the windows folder was not released by deleting this restore points!
