Hello,
For those who use windows Vista and older , (and maybe XP too ? ) , you may know the folder called "winsxs in C:\WINDOWS . You may also have noticed it takes several Gigs (GB) in your harddrive . Some persons have more than 10 or 20 GBs . (for me it is 8.30 GBs )
(picture taken in safe mode in a french Vista Home Premium 32 bits OS ).
That is due to this folder function : save several versions of files , dlls ... ( for example when you do an update or a new install ) to prevent from incompatibility and eventually backup . It grows with time (liked for moving from a Service Pack to another Service Pack ).
However those files stay for life in your system until you reinstall Windows and are not anymore useful but i'm not sure if it's safe to delete them .
I heard about a software that can delete about 30/40 % of it's size but i forget its name.
So ( !) I'm here and i ask if that is possible to integrate a cleaning module in CCleaner only for this folder ( which is huge ! )
Thanks . And you , what is this folder's size in your OS ?
