| | How to Use the Vista SP1 Disk Cleanup Tool Information | | This will show you how to run the Vista SP1 Cleanup tool to permanently remove the Vista RTM backed up files created during the installion of the Vista SP1 to gain more hard drive space. |  | WARNING | | Running the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Disk Clean-up tool permanently removes the ability to uninstall the Vista SP1. Do not run this tool unless you have no plans of uninstalling the Vista SP1 and just want to save or regain hard drive space. The only option to remove the SP1 after using this tool is to do a clean install of Vista. |  | NOTE | | The Vista SP1 disk cleanup tool gave me back 1.6 GB on my hard drive. This amount will vary on each computer. To see how much space you recover, 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. |  | RELATED LINKS: Here's How: NOTE | | If you installed Vista SP2, then you will need to use the Vista SP2 Disk Cleanup tool instead. The SP1 Disk Cleanup tool will no longer work after installing SP2. |  | 1. Open a elevated command prompt. 2. In the elevated command prompt, type vsp1cln.exe and then press Enter. (See screenshot below) 3. Type Y when you see Would you like to continue? and press Enter. NOTE: Tying N will cancel running the Vista SP1 disk cleanup tool. You can also just close the command prompt window to cancel to. 4. It will take a little bit to finish. When it is finished, you will see the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Disk Clean-up completed message. (See screenshot above) 5. When it's done, you can close the elevated command prompt. That's it,

 | Re: SP1 Disk Cleanup Tool I tried to uninstall sp1, which it would not. Read on a page somewhere that it contains a kernel update is why it wouldn't? Then again, I have no need to uninstall it, but I dislike junk/clutter on any of my HD's, so thank you.

| | Senior Member Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 Sydney, AUSTRALIA | Re: SP1 Disk Cleanup Tool Thanks for checking it out Shawn. I'll try to find out from TuneUp Software and if I get anywhere I'll let everyone know. I know when I ran their cleanup utility previously it deleted something like 3,500 backup files.

I'm getting jealous. Everyone is reporting that they are gettin more space recovered than I did. I even had someone report that they got nearly 9 GB recovered.  Maybe I just keep a cleaner house. LOL  Yeah, that's it. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Vista x64 Ultimate SP2 CPU Core2 Quad Q9450 2.66GHz 12MB Motherboard Gigabyte X48-DQ6 Memory 8 GB (4x2) DDR2 PC2-8500 1066 MHz Patriot Extreme Graphics Card BFG GeForce 9600 GT OC 512MB Sound Card Realtek HD Audio ALC889A Integrated Chip Monitor(s) Displays 28" Hanns-G HG281DJB and 17" eMachines E17T4 Screen Resolution 28" 1920x1200 and 17" 1280x1024 Keyboard Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution Mouse Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution PSU Antec NeoPower 500 Watt Case Tagan El-Diablo Full Tower Cooling 250 mm Front, 360 mm Side, stock CPU, 120 mm SiLenX Rear Hard Drives 64GB Patriot SSD (v2)
