I downloaded an ISO of Windows 7 64 bits, I have a problem: I saw 4 editions in .clg files (home basic, premium, professional and ultimate), I opened install.wim with 7zip and I saw folders called 1,2,3 and 4. I suppose numbers are the 4 editions I mentioned.
How to remove editions from ISO? My problem is those editions makes iso size be up to 5.5 GB. I just need ultimate, no more editions needed.

First run Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:DVDDRIVELETTER:\sources\install.wim to see which index the Edition has you want to have alone:
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.3.9600.17029
Details for image : E:\sources\install.wim
Index : 1 Name : Windows 7 HOMEBASIC Description : Windows 7 HOMEBASIC Size : 11.623.452.494 bytes
Index : 2 Name : Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM Description : Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM Size : 12.136.659.100 bytes
Index : 3 Name : Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL Description : Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL Size : 12.037.929.390 bytes
Index : 4 Name : Windows 7 ULTIMATE Description : Windows 7 ULTIMATE Size : 12.200.638.813 bytes
The operation completed successfully.
You want ultimate so run this command with the index 4 for Ultimate:
Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:DVDDRIVELETTER:\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:4 /DestinationImageFile:C:\Win7Ultimate\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 7 Ultimate"
This new ISO should now only include the Ultimate Edition.

/Export-Image causes error 87 The export-image is unknown – CodigosTutoriales – 2016-04-14T19:16:24.533
install the Win8.1/win10 ADK (Deployment Tools) and run the deployment tools CMD and run the DISM command now – magicandre1981 – 2016-04-15T03:50:41.830
New comment (not related with first comment): If install.wim contains only one edition of Windows, Do I have to delete .clg files of editions different to ultimate? – CodigosTutoriales – 2016-04-15T19:49:16.777
the clg is only used by the Windows System Image Manager. you can ignore the files. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825092.aspx
– magicandre1981 – 2016-04-16T11:07:04.360During Export-Image, Can we give comma separated index numbers as SourceIndex if we want more than one edition in the DestinationImageFile ? – Pratik Patil – 2018-05-06T03:46:12.830
@TsYYaYY1ud121a If DISM throws an error for either of the above commands, then you should try installing the Windows ADK and using the version of DISM included along with it. Sometimes the DISM included with your Windows install runs into weird issues on newer images.

Where did you download the ISO from? Did you use the Microsoft site to do so? The media creation tool will help you get only the version you need.

I downloaded it from http://www.intercambiosvirtuales.org/sistemas-operativos/win7-sp1-abril-2015-es (site is in spanish). I cannot download it from Microsoft because I'll waste GB of my quota (I have a limited quota for normal speed and an unlimited one for a slower speed), on the other hand, the media creation tool of Windows 7 requires a genuine serial key before download, I don't have a legal copy of Windows.
