How to delete old update files on vista

Postby Darco » Wed Mar 17, 2010 6:01 am

Hello,

I known that in the past you could find the hidden directory under %WINDIR% where all old files where stored, when installing patches.
But where is now the location under Vista?

The best thing to do is to open an console as an administrator and execute the following lines:

Code: Select all

cd %Windir%\SoftwareDistribution
del /F /S /Q Download


Or perhaps put it into a batch file and execute is once and a while.
(As an administrator of cours)

Return to “OS Windows Vista”
