How to cleanup the winsxs folder on Windows 7 (SP1)/ Windows 2008 / Windows 2008 R2 (SP1)
The winsxs folder in c:\windows can be really big, the only way to cleanup is using the microsoft command line tools :
Windows Server 2003 : VSP1CLEAN.exe
Windows Server 2008 : COMPCLN.exe
Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 : DISM.exe
I will explain the last one here. Start your command prompt As Administrator.
Usage: dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded
Note:
After running this command it won’t be possible to uninstall any service packs!
So almost 3Gb on my Windows 7 Sp1 machine is released.
You can also run these commands :
Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\ManifestCache\*
Icacls %windir%\winsxs\ManifestCache\* /GRANT administrators:F
Del /q %windir%\winsxs\ManifestCache\*
In my case this cleanup another 500Mb
it is very good actually is excellent since it is simple and straight forward ….
appreciate your help
Thanks a lot for this! Gave me another 3+ GB of free space which I desperately needed 🙂
Dank U wel. I have never seen the Del /q command used before to help clean winsxs. Saved me a very needed GB.
Graag gedaan 😉
Here is link to a Microsoft support article as well for the same issue
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2592038
Took 30 minutes to complete the execution , it is very good cleanup gave me 3+ GB in C Drive extra space.
I went from 13Gb to 5Gb!!!!!
THANKS 😀 😀 😀
I got 3 GB free space by this method
Hi,This is not working and i got the error:87
Anyone can help me to solve the issue.
Hi Tamizhmaran.v,
Are you using Windows 7 SP1? If not loose the /spsuperseded option : dism /online /cleanup-image
and are you running the CMD “As Administrator”!
hi, I have the same problem, and yes, I run it as administrator, please some help
SP1 is actually installed?
Or try without the /spsuperseded parameter
Regards,
Michael
Na enkele minuutjes kreeg ik :
“Error 87
The spsuperseded option is not recognized in this context.”
Enig idee?
Bedankt voor uw hulp.
Hoi Kris,
Je kunt hem ook gebruiken zonder die optie, waarschijnlijk is SP1 niet geïnstalleerd?
for all who got error 87 , you should update first to SP1 then run the command
3G Free .. 😀
thanks
hi,
What you mean by that “I will not able to uninstall service pack”? I mean what type of problems making service pack permanent will give to me in future?
Thanks
Hi Ankit,
In general this won’t give any problems. I mentioned it to make sure everybody knows the potentional risks.
Hallo Michael,
Ik krijg de volgende fout:
“De opruiming van het servicepack kan niet doorgaan: er zijn geen back-upbestanden voor het sevicepack gevonden.”
Hoe maak ik die back-up? Is dat überhaupt nodig? Kan ik iets anders doen?
Dank, Dick
Hoi,
Ik ken die specifieke melding niet, maar het lijkt me dat er geen bestanden geschikt zijn om opgeruimd te worden. Je kunt geen specifieke backup maken.
hi Micheal i have win 7 with service pack 1 and when i run command i get Error 5 access denied ??
Any help
Tried it in an Elevated Windows (Run as Administrator) ?
Cleaned 900MB :S I’d expect more but it isn’t every day x-mas is it…
The good thing is I always save 8GB for Windows Backup, so i can safely delete it and create a new one instead.
Deleting Hibernation file also gave me a 4-5GB bonus space (It can be re-enabled anytime so, why not 🙂
From 13,295MB to 8791MB for me. My install of Win 7 SP1 is only 90 days old…
Free space: 3,6 GB
with: dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded
hey michael after typing the command in cmd i get the following reply
Error: 740
Elevated permissions are required to run DISM.
Use an elevated command prompt to complete these tasks.
Hi Ivan,
This is a normal message, you should run the command in an Elevated Command Windows eg. Rightclick on the Command prompt icon and select Run as Administrator and use the command in that window.
Regards,
Michael

Hi Dino,
Unfortunately there is no Powershell equivalent of these commands.

Hi Christian,
I wish I could help but this log file doesn’t really specify the problem. Give it a try without the /spsuperseded parameter.

Michael

Heyа i am for the first tume here. I camke across thjs board aand I find It really useful & it helped me out mucҺ.
I Һope to give something back and help others like yyou helped me.
Eu utilizo windows 2008. Alguem poderia me informar como utilizar o comando COMPCLN.exe? não consegui nenhum resultado satisfatorio com COMPCLN.exe.
Running this compcln.exe tool is pretty simple:
1. Click Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt or click Start>Run and type cmd to open Command Prompt Windows.
2. Execute the command “Compcln.exe”. The path is “c:\Windows\System32 \compcln.exe”.
3. Users will be prompted with a question whether to keep Vista SP2 permanently in the system.
This operation will make all service packs and other packages permanent on this computer.
Upon completion you will not be able to remove any cleaned packages from this system.
Would you like to continue? (Y/N):
4. Once users types “Y” and presses enter, the system will start performing the windows components clean.
After the cleansing process, users will notice the free hard disk space has increased substantially.
Absolutly great without the superspeed option.
About the command to go further, the first on is ok and modify the rights to me, but the second doesn’t :
it says “No mapping between account names and security IDs was not done.” So then I’m not allowed to delete…
