OK guys anyone know how I can fix this problem. I have over 9500 files in this folder. windows/winsxs/temp/PendingRenames for about last 2 weeks now, TrustedInstaller won't remove them, Disk Clean doesn't even see them. So any ideas on how to get windows to take care of them??
interesting ,, I have the winsxs folder with other folder inside but nothing in /PendingRenames , but over all there is over 5gig in the winsxs folder mostly folder with a AMD64 name .and some pictures of things I have never seen before .. must be of some use I guess
not sure .did you look into the folders properties, and check security, and see how trusted installer is setup ... pic shows mine as full control
No problem I can have Full Control with the click of my mouse. But, I want to let windows remove them not me.
This is one folder that you should let a windows command remove them.
Ok I found a command that cleaned them up. dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup It worked GREAT.
