How big is your Win7 winsxs folder?

Lanz · 21 Feb 2010 at 23:49

I installed Win7 in July 2009 and my winxs folder is already 12GB, how big is yours?

I know what its for, but I reckon its a bit of a joke really. Feel sorry for people with 30GB SSDs.

13GB apparantly. Though if I am reading that link correctly this might be misleading, since it is hardlinks to files, not the actual files themselves...

EDIT: My bad, it's only actually 5.8GB! Must have caught the Windows folder background when I right-clicked!

Roughly 10gb

5.84gb

I really need to do some cleanup of my drive, a lot of useless documents on here. Fresh install is needed I think.
