Vista to 7 Upgrade, Winsxs folder


Recommended Posts

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?

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

Since it's full of multiple hard links to single files of course it'll be smaller on an install.
