abbodi1406 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 C:\Windows\WinSXS\Backup AFAIK, is required for Windows Resource Protection (sfc) based on the refreshed Windows 8.1 released ISOs, i use this wimscript.ini exclusion list:[ExclusionList]\Users\Administrator\Windows\Logs\CBS\*\Windows\Logs\DISM\Windows\Logs\PBR\Windows\Panther\Windows\Prefetch\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Panther\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep_succeeded.tag\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\*\Windows\Temp\*\Windows\WinSxS\ManifestCache\* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legolash2o Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 About WinSXS\Backup... If I add a 'Cleanup' tab, i will notify users. Personally I haven't used SFC for a very very very very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbodi1406 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 So don't delete it? Also when you have an asterisk in locations (e.g. \Windows\Temp\*) does that mean delete everything in the folder, but not the folder itself?It's your choiceit's only used by sfc.exe if there is a system file corrupted so it replace ityes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
