Windows 10: anniversary image

Hello
I upgraded from Win 10 1511 to the the Anniversary and it runs well. I just removed the win.old with disc cleanup and remove system files.
It is odd that the image with the lap is 14 GB which sounds normal but this is 46 GB.
I have removed all I can see to remove.
Why is the image so big?
Even the 1511 was only about 15 GB.
I don't think I have to do a clean install, although it is preferable, just to get a correct image size.
I am using Macrium on both and on the 1511 before that.
It seems 15 GB is more reasonable than 46.
TY
Peter

Language Packs won't download or install in Windows 10

Try the following:

Press Windows key + X

Click Command Prompt (Admin)

Type in at the prompt OR Copy and Paste these one at a time : (Hit enter after each)

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

If that does not work, try performing an upgrade to the Anniversary Update then try again:

Three Ways to Upgrade to Windows 10 Anniversary Update

 

Run treesize - probably some hidden folders or temporary files.

 

I ran tresize to clean the external drive of trash and left over images.
How do you suggest I do so to find these left overs in C:\?

 

With some (a few) UWP apps .exe programs ,files ,folders and data on 14905 here is my storage that I manage so as not to fill up the 14905 SSD .

14905 is on the smaller SSD ofc .*Smile

 

I removed the recycle and Mint I did not know I had.
Any other ideas?

 

You could also check and see how many restore points are saved. They can take up a lot of space. If you have CCleaner it will show you how many you have under its Tools Option. You can also check your restore points in your System's folder.
2nd Option is to run cleammgr.exe in extended mode:
%SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:35 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:35
This will give you alot more options for files to remove in your Windows.

 

I am not a very high level user.
What should I remove from the attachment?

 

Also note Windows will clean up the old files automatically - someone told me after 10 days?

 

>>please explain.

 

If you have CCleaner free version, than you can check to see how many Restore points you have saved....if any. These can take up lots of hard drive space. Depending on how many you have.



On the 2nd Option all you do is open up a Windows Command Prompt Admin. (right click on your Windows Start menu)
Then Copy and paste the command I posted into the Command prompt window, and check all the boxes it shows you.
%SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:35 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:35

This is like your Windows disk cleaner except with MORE options.

 

The screen print in post #5 shows 60.1 GB Size, 44.2 GB Allocated, and 16.6 GB for Users
The screen print in post #7 shows 44.8 GB Size, 28.8 GB Allocated, and 1.2 GB for Users
I wonder why space reported for Size is more than Allocated.

Did you delete the Users / Prime folder ?
If you create an image now it should be smaller than before.
What program do you use to create images ?

I would try other programs to see what they show.
I prefer Wiztree, they have a Portable Zip available.
Antibody Software - WizTree finds the files and folders using the most disk space on your hard drive

 

>>Thanks for your help but I have done a clean install as it was a mess. I have never had Macrium Reflect fail on me so I'll keep using it. Thanks though.
