It finally got rid of the 2.18 stuff. Might have been waiting for something pending, took it's time but worked fine in the end. Good job MS.
That will help until MS do the SP2 .
I didn't realise that you had to reboot for the actual removal to take place (you don't with an ordinary cleanup).
When I ran it, the amount of free space on my partition actually decreased significantly.
I decided to reboot and I noticed that Windows went into its update configuration mode.
After the reboot, I got my space back (~4 GB).
I notice that it is included in this months updates, so you don't have to download it separately. :)
I think that Teerex and SIW2 mean these folders:If MS plans to support W7 until 2020 they will have to release SPs sooner or later.
Businesses will be howling by 2016.
How many updates will need to be installed by then?
OTOH, maybe MS is planning to release a business friendly version of Windows by then (W10?).

Don't you just love that magic reboot. Sometimes it just fixes so many things.
I like many others would like to see a SP-2 but that would make Windows 7 even better therefor Windows 8 or 8? sales would fall even more. I don't think Microsoft would like that.
I haven't installed it in my main PC yet.
I just installed it in another VM and I got back ~5.5 GB!

Those previously posted results were for 64 bit VMs.
I just finished updating a 32 bit VM (which hadn't been updated since February - ouch!) and I got back ~2.2 GB.

Take note that, in case you use System Restore (I think most do), you'll have to wait for the restore points to clear out to see any changes in free disk space.
Cool. I got back nearly 4gb from it. That reduces the size and time of my image backup significantly.
