Default 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.

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.
