The SoftwareDistribution Folder... Sigh...
Whats all this stuff in winsxs?

So I needed to make space on a system volume. According to my research (Yes, Mine!  Do Your Own!) This script safely cleans up SoftwareDistribution and winsxs.

Again.. Don't blindly trust some blogger.  Google an answer.

*ATTN*  The below script will delete data!  You've been warned.

@ECHO OFF

ECHO * This process deletes data forever!
ECHO * This process will delete files from: 
ECHO * C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and \Windows\winsxs
ECHO * Don't run this if you dont know what you are doing.
ECHO * Youll likely screw things up in a bad way.
ECHO * Renaming: \Windows\softwareDistribution to \Windows\softwareDistribution.old
net stop wuauserv
rename c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution softwaredistribution.old
net start wuauserv
ECHO *
ECHO * Check that the SoftwareDistribution Folder was created.
ECHO * Run WindowsUpdate and make sure it doesnt error.
wuauclt /ShowWUAutoScan
ECHO *
ECHO ***
ECHO *** At this point if there was an issue you could just replace
ECHO ***  the SoftwareDistribution Folder if there was an issue
ECHO *** I never had an issue
ECHO *** Continuing will delete data forever! ***
PAUSE
ECHO Deleting old SoftwareDistribution Folder (\windows\softwaredistribution.old)
