Hello everybody!

Today I noticed that my Windows 7 folder size is about 75GB !!

I checked and noticed that the C:\Windows\Installer folder contains about 35GB,
and the C:\Windows\winsxs folder size is 20GB.

Is it normal?, and if not, can I reduce its size somehow?


I will very much appreciate your help!

 
Solution
Try this
open explorer window
select MY PC
right click on the C drive goto properties
you should have a clean up install files in one of those menu, (sorry I use windows 10 doing from memory)

I do install many programs, but I usually remove them when I'm done with them.

Is there a way to remove the installer files of the program that I no longer have installed on my computer?

The problem with the winsxs folder is that the files/folders in there are not name related to whatever you installed.
