Windows 10: Cleanup WinSxS Files

After windows update becomes up to date and if start component cleanup is not recommended, can I start component cleanup everyday?

:)

 

Deleting WinSxS files and other system files when disk cleanup does not.

Have a small hard drive 98GB - of which 66GB is in the Windows Folder and about 9GB in the WinSxS subfolder, I only have 2 GB available on the drive. Have run disk cleanup including option for the system files. Disk clean up runs but does not deal with the
system files nor gives any indication of why the files are not removed. I have explored manually deleting the files WinSxS files but have not wanted to do that without knowing the impact, I understand that problems can be caused by manually deleting the files.
I am running windows 8.1. Any suggestions on how to proceed with freeing up the disk space, where else might I look in the windows folder to remove unnecessary files?

Thanks

Joe

HEY HEY, ok, totally retarded, but i shrunk my winsxs folder from 17 GB to 9 by simply right clicking my C: and running disk cleanup *Wink I had some restore points in there and old temp files that were huge.

I tried that when this subject started and no change for me at least.
