[oljayto]

hey guys -

I do know that there is thread about this but it was about 286 days ago

my winsxs folder contains files with the name of amd.... but neither my cpu nor gpu are amd.

I did the disk cleanup but nothing happened and it is still about 5GB ( in case that I installed my win about 1 month ago )

can i delet the files named amd from my pc or not
please help me out with this thank you

Do not delete those amd files. They are use by Windows 7.

AMD originally developed the 64 bit extention to the x86 architecture. Therefore, modern 64 bit processors use the AMD64 instruction set regardless of whether it's Intel or AMD.

Where are you coming up with these ideas.

What program are you using for your cleaning of your system?

You do not want to do anything with winsxs folder. Just leave them alone.
If your like me you will find many things in your system you don't have knowledge of. Just Google them and find out what they are.

I'm hoping you asked about them before deleting them not after.

Here are a couple of Windows 7 tool you can use.

Windows tool won't hurt Windows.
