Ok, did Disk Cleanup and I freed about 5 gb
Mainly Hibernation files
(which I don't use) and Memory Dump files.
Tried the "vsp1 cln" (without the quotes) command and it said command not
recognized. Did you mispell it? I don't really think I"ll ever uninstall SP1
so these files could be deleted, I guess.
My 35GB partition is for Vista ONLY. All my files, documents, media, pics,
videos, etc are kept in other partition. All my programs are redirected to
another partiotion and drive C (Vista) keeps only the required DLL's and
Common Files. Considering all this, maybe 35 is indeed a good amout of space
for it, isn't it?
Again, what's the command to delete update install files from DOS?
Thank you for your reply.
