Extension as posted above by Ronnie Vernon, easy way to see which are hard linked (red arrow) and which are simple files. Before getting here I saw in a lot of places people asking for the cleanup tool after installing SP1 for Windows 7 like vsp. There is no dedicated tool, it all got integrated into the. Disk Cleanup service. One note that I would make here is that even if the option says it will remove a few hundreds of MB after I cleaned up my drive the service removed around 3. GB of excess files.

Funny, now I have even more space than I had before installing SP1. Nice one, MS. Regarding the hard links, I got amused by the confusion created around them. I'm not a linux geek, and I usually use only soft links..

If a rogue uninstaller thinks. System. 32, it would only delete the links, but not the data, then the links would be recreated while keeping data space usage at lowest possible, better than archiving winsxs in cabs and having the cabs along side the. Also winsxs bring serialization, compartmentalizing files with the same name but different version, for the dev's sake, which is a good thing / bad thing, it makes them lazy to code properly but it helps when they don't want to code anymore.
