Skillfully use DISM to easily remove the Win8.1winsxs redundancy update steps:
1, for example, under the Win8.1 update platform, log on to the traditional desktop, right click the Start button, select a command prompt (administrator);
2. Enter the security Cleanup command at the Open command prompt:
Dism.exe/online/cleanup-image/startcomponentcleanup
This command supports earlier versions of the update component (support for Win8.1 RTM, Win8.1 update platform)
Dism.exe/online/cleanup-image/startcomponentcleanup/resetbase
Note: After you complete this command, you will not be able to uninstall the installed updates and will not affect the installation and uninstallation of subsequent updates (Win8.1 update platform is not supported, careful operation)
3, wait for a moment, we re-enter the WinSxS folder query command:
Dism.exe/online/cleanup-image/analyzecomponentstore
Querying the actual size of the current WinSxS folder
At this point, the Windows8.1 platform under the WinSxS folder redundant updates are easily cleaned up, as long as the use of DISM management tools, a few simple steps can be done, and do not worry about the WinSxS folder deletion risk.
