After creating the iso image it turns from 3.2gb to 2.90gb. So what else can be deleted to make it alot smaller, say around 1gb image im trying to get.

I'm not one to give you advice for removing things since I choose to remove nothing, but I'm curious.  Why are you focused on the size of the .ISO image, when I would have thought that the size of the installed image would be what is more important?  Win Toolkit, which uses the "official" DISM method to remove things, does not remove much at all from the .ISO, but rather just prevents things from being installed.  AFAIK, this still won't reduce the installed image as much as some other methods, but it should be more stable.

 

Cheers and Regards

But again, it shouldn't matter the size of the ISO.  It sounds like a smaller install size is what you should be focused on, not the size of the ISO.  They are NOT directly related.

Ok i understand. The original full installed size was 13gb, now 7.30gb. Pretty good so far.
