nekrosoft13 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Those that did Vista to Win7 Upgrade, did you pay attention to Winsxs folder? Did the Win7 upgrade clear out all older vista files from Winsxs folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimsland Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 WinSxS folder (Windows Side by Side) Good question, but I suspect that nothing was removed The safest way to reduce the size of this folder is to uninstall programs that you do not require any longer Lots more info here: http://www.winvistaclub.com/f16.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda X Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 WinSxS folder (Windows Side by Side) Good question, but I suspect that nothing was removed The safest way to reduce the size of this folder is to uninstall programs that you do not require any longer Lots more info here: http://www.winvistaclub.com/f16.html Since it's full of multiple hard links to single files of course it'll be smaller on an install.
