| VISTA home prem 32bit SP2 --- XP Pro SP3 32bit | I would'nt delete Winsxs folder "Windows Side By Side" FYI: Mine uses up 7GB of space. Has anyone deleted this folder or anything inside. I have enough space but I like to be streamline. ( get rid of anything I don't use/need ) The Secret Of Vista's Winsxs Folder. |

| Win7x64 | Re: Winsxs stands for 'Windows Side By Side' 7GB worth of HDD space costs somewhere on the order of a buck or two at today's prices. The binaries in there are indeed used, frequently, and deleting all or portions of the WinSxS folder is almost guaranteed to end badly. Personally, I'd recommend against it. |
