How to reduce the size of WINSXS?
My original installation of Win7-64, along with all my application software, took about 22GB on my 64GB SSD. Now, after about a year's use, my Windows folder itself is taking up 21.1 GB and my SSD is nearly 50% full.
The WINSXS folder is the single largest consumer of space on my system, and it continues to get larger and larger. It is now at 7GB.
Does anyone know of a way to reduce the size of WINSXS and still retain the ability to perform Restore Points?
PS: Yes, I have already done the post-SP1 cleanup routine. That did help - it gave back about 3 GB, but all of that (and more) has been re-consumed.
