C:/Windows has grown to 22.5 GB with 225 updates. I need to clean this out

Do I have to reformat the drive and reinstall everything or is there a way
to clean this out?


Shenan Stanley has given you lots of good advice to reclaim some of
the space. But I wanted to add the following:

These days 22.5GB is not a very great size, and if you badly need some
of that space back, you almost certainly just don't have enough disk
space.

Whatever you do to save some disk space will just be a stopgap
measure. You can save some now, but very soon you will be very short
again. The real solution to your problem is to buy a larger disk drive
second or a second one. Fortunately they are very inexpensive now.
