Do Window 7 Updates Eat System Drive ?

Under XP I had to periodically clean out the backup folders generated by

Is there an analogous process happening under 7?

Where I'm going is that I *used* to have 30+ gigs available on my System
drive and now I am down to 7.... Spent some time with WinDirStat, but
cannot pin down any user-generated offenders.

I *did* add 8 gigs of memory awhile back and PageFile.sys has grown
accordingly.... but that still leaves 15 gigs unaccounted for.

It is starting to seem like I should not have chinced out on the 100-gig
SDD size.... -)

I think you overestimate them. There's no W10 on my W7.

It doesn't happen to all machines. There's several anecdotal accounts
of people with identical machines in the same location. Some get the
files, some don't.

M$ is playing a game of softee, softee, catchee monkey.

Disk Cleanup will only gain a few gigabytes in C:\Windows\winsxs; it's a
bit of a disappointment if you ask me...
