  3. 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

    Reduce the size of the WinSxS folder

    Hi Adrian,

    Open File Explorer

    Click on your hard drive

    On the Manage Tab, click Cleanup

    Let Disk Cleanup do its initial scan

    Select Everything in the list and choose Delete

    Start Disk Cleanup again

    Let Disk Cleanup do its initial scan

    This time in the resulting dialog, click 'Cleanup System Files'

    Let Disk Cleanup run another scan

    Select Everything in the list and choose Delete

    Then for more options for reducing the size of that WinSxS folder, please see this Microsoft Article:
