Massive Windows file on my system drive
Hi everyone, anyone,
After all these years, I finally agree with my wife - I need help!
Weird things were happening, Registry in a knot I think, so reluctantly I just had to do a complete reinstall of W7 Pro x64. I installed the usual stuff, security etc. then spent ages watching Microsoft installing hundreds of updates. Then I began the laborious task of reinstalling all my apps. My system seems to be working quite well but I noticed my "C" drive seemed much fuller than I would have expected. Please checkout the attachment.
I have 2 folders in C:\windows - winsxs (12gb) and assembly which is over 38gb.
Does anybody know what these are and what I can do to make them a sensible size. I don't believe this can be correct for a normal Windows installation. This problem has only arisen since the reinstall.
Any help gratefully received.
Thank you.
