Delete Software Distribution Folder Windows 7
The Good Witch S01e02. No, but you can use the list of folder that are removed in order to determine what to delete. However, be wary that if it is already installed, it may not be as simple as just deleting a folder (there may be references to it in the registry or other files). Depending on what it is, you may need to uninstall stuff (eg Windows Components in Add/Remove Programs) to be safe. Is also a good place to find advice on what is safe. (I recall seeing a discreet list a while back; I’ll post a link if I can find it again.) – Feb 6 '12 at 0:19.

With all Windows updates applied stop the Windows Update service to safely remove the Windows SoftwareDistribution Download folder.

Disclaimer: I'm using Windows 7. Personally, I wouldn't be touching any system folders. Some tips to free space: • From My Computer, right-click the hard drive and select Properties and press Disk Cleanup. Support Programs For Cancer Patients more. I recommend selecting all options except 'Downloaded Program Files'. • In C: delete any folders that are just a string of hex-digits. These are old installers.
• In C: delete all files. Any files that were there were from old installers. Note: may not be the case in Windows XP. • Clean out your documents and media files. Are you ever really going to open that file again? Move your media to a secondary or external drive. Quite frankly, if you're that tight for disk space it's time to invest in a new drive.
