Forside14597yI recently cleaned up the ssd of a friend's pc. 60gb ssd and 7gb left. The installer directory was 21gb... Don't know what you have to install all with msi/msp to make it that huge, but well. Moved it to another drive with symlink and now the ssd is half-empty.

raulqf3007y@Forside I have 256GB but the partition is about 110GB. Msi/msp files get around 30GB... I use this laptop to program and the only programs that I have installed are IDEs and libraries. I think windows updates are the main responsible of that files, although I also have an NVIDA that also ask frequently for updates. I will try your trick!! Thanks

Forside14597y@raulqf Regarding Nvidia drivers, after updating you can always delete C:\NVIDIA and C:\Program Files\Nvidia blabla\Installer2

raulqf3007y@Forside Oh Thanks!! I didn't know NVIDIA keeps old stuff. I only found the Installer2 folder but not C:/NVIDIA.
