Win 10 is eaten your C drive!!

How to Check and reclaim.
Every few weeks I check what's with my C drive. I use the free Treesize , today I saw this
AMD.jpg
*To find what driver they are , In CMD prompt

Code: Select all

pnputil.exe /e > c:\driver.txt
As I'm using an intel celron, why do I need 2Gb of AMD GPU drivers????
So I deleted them with CMD

Code: Select all

pnputil.exe /d OEMxx.INF
naming the relevent .inf file.

** Next is to clean the winSXS folder
run

Code: Select all

dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore
And see the report, to do a cleanup , run

Code: Select all

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
All and all I reclaimed ~2.5gb with that.
Some times I do more "unconventional" things to fight win10 , but maybe the average user will not.

*** These are my suggestions, be careful as basically it's your own system and your risk.
