Why the fuck is C:\Windows 75GB :angry_pepe:

@matrix @orekix I think they keep a copy of the installers of every software that you install

>you can see why removing files from this directory can cause you unneeded pain
so removing unneeded files causes unneeded pain, this is very windows-like

@orekix @matrix @dirb
I can see how remiving some files might cause you slight trouble, but wasting 1/3 of your total hdd space is as painless as it gets.

I love how these idiots just pretend not to see consequences of their bad code.

@matrix
Haven't used Windows for extended periods for too long. I know a lot of bloat accumulated in time from updates, but 75GB sounds way too much. Try running Windows' Clean Tool (or whatever it was called).

@alyx I just did. It removed 10GB, but not from the Windows folder. Only 3GB were removed from it.

@matrix
Get WinDirStat to help you see where the bloat is coming from.

@matrix
Also, make sure to also use the "Clean up system files" option in Disk Cleanup if you haven't. (can't believe I actually ended up searching that things name)
