About this tag
The manual method tag on WindowsForum.com covers user discussions about performing system maintenance tasks without relying on automated tools. A recurring theme is the manual cleanup of the Windows WinSxS folder, where users find that built-in utilities like the Disk Cleanup tool from KB 2852386 may not sufficiently reduce folder size. Community members seek alternative manual methods to achieve more effective results, such as using command-line tools or direct file management. The tag reflects practical, hands-on approaches to troubleshooting and optimizing Windows systems, often involving step-by-step procedures shared by experienced users.

Windows 7 New Disk Cleanup tool KB 2852386 does a bad job: Only 12.5GB-->11GB
I installed and used today the recently introduced (with KB 2852386) new Disk Cleanup Utility. After having performed the cleanup with multiple reboots I rechecked the size of the C:\Windows\winsxs\ folder. The size shrinks from approx 12.5 GB to 11GB Wow! :-( Is there something wrong...- pstein
