So the Windows\installer folder (and the WinSxS folder, but that's another story) is eating up quite a LOT of space on my hdd. Windows Installer Cleanup utility was the tool of the trade before, but now Microsoft zapped it with the reason that it's insecure and might delete something that shouldn't be deleted.
So my question is: If I shouldn't use this tool to try freeing some space, what else? My Windows directory is, alone, using like 25 gb. Most of it comes to the installer and winsxs folder.
This covers general cleaning of a Windows installation. The windows installer cleanup is quite specific though :). Also I'd have refered to all the other questions regarding Windows cleanup then. – sinni800 – 2011-07-11T11:20:01.557
CCleaner also allows removal of uninstallers and caches for installed updates, which can be a significant chunck of disk space if you've never cleaned them before. – music2myear – 2011-07-11T22:11:36.440
