    Reduce windows/installer folder size with Dism++ [​IMG]


    If I uninstall office 2016 the size of the installer folder is about 700Mb. !!!
    So I'm searching for a SAFE way to reduce the size of this folder.

    Actually I've found 2 promising ways.
    1. Dism++
    2. This script
    Presenting… StartComponentCleanup for MSI (including Office) | My Digital Life Forums

    Has anyone used any of these ways to reduce the size of the installer folder ?
    Is there any other SAFE way which would not lead to program updates problems or other issues ?

    Thanks

    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:
