Growing ‘winsxs’ folder in Vista

by adv79 . Updated 17 years ago

Hi,

I bought this computer with Vista Home Premium pre-installed, about a year ago. At that time the “winsxs” folder under the C:/Windows sized about 5.5gb. I have installed a few programs after that but not too many, and stopped installing further programs to keep the free space in C: maximum. At that time winsxs had grown up to 9gb. When I checked it again today, it has become 18+ gbs. Is there anyway to get rid some of the files in it or the only solution is to keep a high capacity hard drive?

Thanks.
Anil.
