Posted June 3, 201410 yr Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows what else is safe to delete before capturing an image. So far I have: Files:swapfile.syspagefile.syshiberfil.sysWindows\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep_succeeded.tag*.log filesFolders:PerfLogsWindows\Logs\CBS\*Windows\Logs\DISMWindows\Logs\PBRWindows\PantherWindows\PrefetchWindows\System32\Sysprep\PantherWindows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStoreWindows\SoftwareDistribution\DownloadWindows\System32\winevt\Logs\*Windows\Temp\*Windows\WinSXS\BackupWindows\WinSxS\ManifestCache\*Can anyone think of anymore?
June 3, 201410 yr 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\*
June 4, 201410 yr Author 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.
June 5, 201410 yr 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
