Disk Space issues Windows

Hi,

I've identified several system folders consuming excessive space:

- excessive- on what basis? Compared to what?

Why does the size cause you concern?

Mine is 10.8GB - so yours looks about right.

Wiztree (free) gives a really helpful view of space with a coloured 'cushion map' view which immediately helps you to focus as well as a tree.

For reference see:

Unfortunately you've given nothing on your disk(s) in your specs, nor indicated how much free space you have on C: so no real reference point.

I attempted to minimize the space occupied by WinSXS by running DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) for cleanup, but the size of WinSXS remains unchanged....

Try dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase which should clean up a bit more.

Bree,

It's a sad reflection of the current economic climate that you can't afford all the / you need.
dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase


All the best,
