Guest Meinolf Weber Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Re: EM64T Processor. Ok to delete Windows\AMD64? Hello Abislair, First i would run diskcleanup, then you can also move the pagefile to another physical disk. Additional you can delete all KBxxxxxx update folders. Do NOT delete $hfmig$ folder. When deleting the uninstall folders you are NOT longer aible delete any installed updates/patches. Additional you can check the size of the windows\softwaredistribution folder. The content is only needed duriong patch installation, so stop the automatic update service and delete the content, it will be rebuilded when you start the service again.

It depends... do you prefer your windows server installation to work or to be utterly broken and require a lot of repair work. If you want the system to keep working then leave the AMD64 stuff alone, if you're worried that you need to practice your disaster recovery skills then by all means go for it. Double-check your backups first though. In _general_ terms, I'll say that deleting parts of your operating system due to disk-space issues is never a winning strategy.
Guest Abislair Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Re: EM64T Processor. Ok to delete Windows\AMD64? Thanks for your snarky answer!!! I'll be sure not to delete anything Dell/Microsoft wants to put on my computer because we all know everyone needs all of it. If not for you wisdom I'd probably delete the Windows folder. You rock!
