Selecting specific WU copies through/via W7's Disk Cleanup to remove?
Hello.
In Windows 7 SP1, its Disk Cleanup can delete old Windows Updates (WUs) copies but that wipes all of them. Is there a way to wipe only updates that are older than a month? Basically, I want to select them. I still want to keep the recent updates, but not very the old updates. Currently, I have about 2.5 GB of updates taking up in my tiny SSD. Thank you in advance. -- Quote of the Week: "Ants can lift up to 50 times their own weight. And your monitor is missing.

Make a backup of the current system state, then zap all of them ? You can then go back to a time later when the guts were still present. ******* Generally speaking, Windows Update doesn't have any maintainability features. It won't list the updates in numeric order. And it won't do anything else nice for you either. But it will download a copy of Windows 10 you don't want or need. Paul |
