I use an SSD so I don't have a lot of storage space but Microsoft always seems to install multiple Windows Software Development Kits wasting tons of space:

And yes, I'm a software developer so I need an SDK. However, isn't there a way to only install the latest and keep the others off my PC? They silently install themselves without me noticing and suddenly my C: drive is full again.

    Do you only have an SSD, or do you also have a 2nd drive? If its the latter, you can use mklink to move the installs. That way they are still installed, but won't consume disk space on your SSD anymore.

    Microsoft doesn't install it. The Windows SDK is only installed by a user. Can you modify the screenshot to indicate which versions are installed? If you need multiple Windows SDK entirely depends on your developement needs
