I've noticed my windows directory takes up 21GB's of space. Normally I wouldn't mind because I'm usually on a hard drive with plenty of space, but since having purchased an SSD boot drive, I'm a bit limited as to what goes on the C:\ drive.
Here is a detailed analysis of what is taking up that space:
Size details for C:\Windows
Name File Size Files % of Parent % of Total
winsxs 7,010,870 42,338 30.8% 11.0%
Installer 4,938,526 3,947 21.7% 7.7%
assembly 3,336,223 3,191 14.7% 5.2%
System32 2,713,797 11,860 11.9% 4.2%
SysWOW64 1,259,757 4,973 5.5% 2.0%
Microsoft.NET 1,147,614 3,951 5.0% 1.8%
Anything in here that can be safely cleaned out? Log files or installer files?
Answer
If you are running 64 bit, 20 GB is the minimum for Win 7. I wouldn't try deleting anything unless you want to risk activating some "undocumented features". :)
