My computer is in the verge of 0 bytes, and the reason is because of winsxs . Now, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and I read that there was a Windows update made for it, codenamed KB2852386 .

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The thing is that there is a new option call Windows Update Cleanup, cleaning up any unnecessary files. I realized that it was in my system all along! (as an optional update) Trouble is after the update when I open the Disk Cleanup, the option wasn't there!

Help, Opponauts!

Well, i'm not that good with windows, so when my windows start getting stupid i wipe the whole thing and reinstall it. Same goes with my phone.

Just one question: why don't you flag all those boxes and click OK?

That's an unusually radical practice, if I may say so. It's like you should say: " I'm not very good at dealing with women, so whenever I get to an irreconcilable quarrel with my girlfriend, I just kill her and then I look for a new one". Well, this is also a solution.

Seems rational to me. The part about killing the girlfriend, not wiping the disk...

On a side note there is a program I really like that I use at work. If you don't have it already its called CCleaner. You can get it by going to ccleaner.com (note: it will redirect you to piriform.com so don't panic).

It's really good at getting rid of all the temp crap that windows leaves behind. Same with browsers and programs. That site also offers a defrag program called "defraggler". My coworker hates windows defragger so hey that might be a good alternative.

But break up with her is allowed tough.
