Can i delete windows servicing packages

I'm now seriously suspecting harddisk or RAM failure. Until now I've done all investigations remotely via TeamViewer. I fear that I need to go down there and investigate this PC on site to get a proper feel of it. Thanks for your help so far. I ran the chkdsk which came up with a number of bad sectore. See other thread. But I also worked on replacng those missing and corrupted files.

I discovered that my netbook has the same windows 8. Giving Windows Update another try, it figured something is wrong and suggested that I run a Fix-It, which in its turn reported having fixed some stuff. Apologies for intermixing two remedy trajectories.

Bad sectors means bad drive, and only more bad sectors are going to happen. Which is why you had corrupt files. It is time to backup the data and replace the drive Shane. Thanks for the advice. Data is already on an automatic backup schedule. Topic New Reply. April 8, at am The files appear to be tiny. Reply Quote. Viewing 4 reply threads. Alex AskWoody Plus.

No, I Googled too, and found that. I've tried doing a gci -recurse remove-item -recurse, but it only partially cleans it - it fails as "unable to find" a bunch of the files, and I'm still seeing 2GB left in it.

And of course, most people suggest disk cleanup, but as I've said previously, that's not an option on Server Core. So thanks, but that's not a ton of help. Anyone else have any ideas? I'm kind of surprised Microsoft doesn't have a command-line or powershell version of windows update cleanup? Might give this a go. Yeah, already tried that.
