Re: SP1 Disk Cleanup Tool

Hi Casey,

To see how much space you recover, you will need to make a note of how much free space you have on the C:/ drive in Computer before and after you run the SP1 Cleanup Tool.

Re: SP1 Disk Cleanup Tool

Hi,
If you go to C:Windows/Software Distribution/Downloads then double click Downloads a load of files will open up with names like c0c4a9f... These are the downloaded source files. If you have already installed them simply right click and delete them - you will need to confirm the action when prompted.
Before deleting them you might like to open each one and locate the blue cab file - copy it to another folder or cd so you can integrate them using vLite to create an updated installation disc for next time you reinstall.

Hope this helps - also Wise disk cleaner, free from www.wisecleaner.com has an option to delete them for you
