  1. *_wusaservice.txt files taking up 50G space


    I have been running into issues with low disk space on my PC's C drive for quite some time, with disk cleanup typically only providing a few extra G of space for a short time. I periodically run the Windows disk cleanup, system file cleanup, and the StartComponentCleanup option via DISM. The largest consumer of space is the C:\Windows folder, which currently sits at 90G of space. Drilling down into the folder, I found that there are a large number of files named XXXX_NNNN_wusaservice.txt - the sum of the file sizes adds up to 50G of space. Looking into each file, it is a list of the filenames

    Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

    I want to be able to generate a .txt file that lists all the files and folders in a specific folder on my PC, but don't know the name of any programs that do that. Searched on google a bit and came up with this guide, but it's for XP and I can't seem to find some of the folder options to modify the .bat file. Any suggestions? Thanks

    EDIT: The .bat file will do what I want if it is in the folder I want to do it in, but the option I want to add is having the right click option that it shows.

  3. Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

    No, that > bla.txt is the target file to write to. You could use a wildcard in the argument, ie c:\windows\*.txt which would list all dlls in c:\windows. But adding that to a simple right-click would be tricky.

    Basically you would execute fancyfile.bat c:\windows\*.txt, fancyfile.bat would then write all .txt files to bla.txt.
