Why does the /winsxs folder grow so large, and can it be made smaller?
I know there are lots of posts about the WinSxS folder, but I have yet to find any useful information about shrinking it. I have already tried running the two service pack removal tools.
The folder totals a massive 16 GB (about 10% of the entire drive!).
If anyone has any pearls of wisdom then please share them.
