    Windows 7 Windows folder is 40GB

    I was having space problems on my SSD so I checked what is taking up so much space with SpaceMonger and it turns out my Windows folder is 40GB big. How normal is this and how could I get it smaller? I have only had this new SSD with windows for a year. :/

    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...
