Ok, I have WSUS 3.1 installed on my home server. I rather stupidly set it to download driver updates. 18,000 updates later I now decide I'd rather avoid that due to making the SQL database/content store too big. I've declined the updates (that took an eternity) but want to purge them from the database. How do I do this? The server cleanup wizard doesn't help.

Cheers :)
 
I find it odd that you have WSUS at home! Is there really any need?

It's related to this thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17994423 , but we've got about 10 machines here so it saves on bandwidth.

At the command prompt (in the same folder) --> type WsusDebugTool.exe /Tool:PurgeUnnneededFiles

You might also want to ensure that English is your only langauge selected (if that suites your scenario).

Done both of those to no effect.:(
