how to clean up bloated windows folder
I have a windows 10 laptop with a bloated windows folder -- almost 40 gb.
on my windows 10 desktop it is just 15 gb. that's reasonable.
back to the problematic laptop: I ran windows disk cleanup, with system files cleanup, and it doesn't find anything big.
I checked the temp folder inside windows folder, and it's small.
The WinSxS folder is a reasonable size: 6 gb.
I can't figure out what's bloating this windows folder. any ideas how to fix it?
The system is upgraded from windows 8.1. But the windows.old folder is gone, so that's not it.
