My windows folder takes 15.1GB of my 32GB on my C drive and the Winsxs folder inside it takes up 9.8GB, is that normal? My laptop has very few applications I installed and only one is over 1GB and its a bit torrent full of music(2.4GB) so does it really take such a massive supply of memory just to run it?

I think i did it earlier because I just tried it and it didn't change anything, do I have to restart the computer?

You should see the change immediately - but go ahead and reboot just to be sure.
