Some installers such as iTunes will unpack and extract setup files to this directory, which can safely removed. In the example, iTunes will C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes which stores installation files. However, note that most files and folders here are needed for proper execution of applications. So delete with care.

%SystemDrive%\Windows\Help

Not really recommended, but if you feel that you already master Vista, and really running out of disk space acutely, removing the Help files will free up around 105 MB space.

%SystemDrive%\Windows\IME

Input Method Editor (IME) provides a way for users to type and enter text in Windows system. If you have installed a few IMEs, but no longer use them, delete the correct corresponding folders to free disk space. Warning though, it’s hard to determine which folder should match with which IME, and any wrong deletion will render system unstable. Each IME may takes up tens of megabytes.

%SystemDrive%\Windows\Installer

The uninstallation programs for installed programs are stored here. If you confirm and sure that yuo won’t uninstall a program after installation, it’s possible to remove the uninstaller for the program. Depending on the number of apps installed, the storage space recovered can add up hundreds of MB.

%SystemDrive%\Windows\Web\Wallpaper

The free wallpaper graphics and images that come packaged with Vista. Remove and delete or move the unused or not needed wallpapers to another drive. Mind you, the wallpapers are high resolution and big in size. Deleting all of them will free up 45 MB.

%SystemDrive%\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

The contents inside “SoftwareDistribution” folder are record date about the system updates installed, and cannot be removed or deleted. However, it’s possible to delete files inside “Download” folder which are the source setup files downloaded.

%SystemDrive%\Users\Public

The public document folders for all users. Vista populates the public folders with several media files such as pictures and videos of about 220 MB in size, which can be deleted if not used. For example, “C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV\Sample Media” folder is the sample recorded video clips of Windows Media Center and eats up 143 MB disk space, while “C:\Users\Public\Music\Sample Music” contains 59 MB of free .wma music, “C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures” has about 5 MB of sample photos, and “C:\Users\Public\Videos” has about 10 MB of sample videos.

Last but not least, always use the Vista Cleaner script to remove unwanted and unneeded files in the PC, and it’s also possible to delete the hiberfil.sys of GBs in size from the system.

There are more ways to recover space and fix shrinking disk space issue.

    There should a BIG WARNING on top of this article mentioning that “Deleting FileRepository will mess up plug&play devices”.

    I deleted it and read the comments later to find out. It is too late now.

    Please do people a favor. Put the warning sign!

    Cleaning FileRepository really messed up all plug & play devices, especially USB thumb drives!!

    Refer to the last entries of the setupapi.dev.log file in c:\windows\inf and you will see the failed entries which are caused by the missing inf files, which can also be found in the same folder.

    They will need to be recreated with the same folder name and then it’ll be fixed.

    Ups – sorry, this was only Germna :)

    Here the same in english (i’ll try my best ;) ):

    thanks for your tips, but..

    Big Warning for deleting the “Downloaded Installations” – now i can’t remove Applications like VMware – becouse the create a *.msi file under this Folder – and if they can’t find this *.msi – they can’t remove or new install!

    Second Warning: for deleting the FileRepository Folder – now i have Problems to install usb-sticks! :(

    Best regards,
    Fabian

    Vielen Dank für die zahlreichen tipps.

    Aber ich muss auch dringend ein paar Warnungen aussprechen – nachdem ich die genannten Verzeichnisse löschte, bekam ich beim De- bzw. Neuinstallieren von diversen Anwendungen mächtige Probelem – Bestes Beispiel: VmWare Workstation. Diese legt eine *.msi Datei unter “% SystemDrive% \ Windows \ Downloaded Installationen” ab. Wenn diese gelöscht werden – ist es nicht mehr möglich die Anwendung zu deinstallieren!! Vom “drüberinstallieren” garnicht zu sprechen.

    Die nächste Warnun muss ich – wie ein paar meiner Vorredner – auf den ersten Tipp – dem löschen des “% SystemDrive% \ Windows \ System32 \ DriverStore \ FileRepository” Verzeichnisses, aussprechen. Nadem ich den gelöschte – kann ich nun keine neuen USB-Sticks mehr installieren. (Auch nach löschen und neuerstellen der ICACHE.1). Ganz ehrlich: mein Vista ist nach all den optimierungen nur noch 2000 MB “schwer” und verbraucht nur noch 400mb RAM (nach diversen optimierungen) – aber wenn ich keine USB-Sticks mehr installieren kann….weiß nicht..

    Schönen Gruß,
    Fabian

    OK.. I figured it out.
    Used 7zip and explored the vista dvd. ..
    open the folder SOURCES
    then the file INSTALL.WIM
    the numbered directories are the different versions of vista.. ie basic, home, home premium, ultimate and a few for foreign markets like the EU that block the install of things like media player. ..
    search out the directory and copy the folder somewhere safe… then work your a#* off trying to take ownership of the directory (there is a script if you don’t want to do it the hard way)…
    THEN you can copy the files over…
    GOOD LUCK …

    HELP!!!
    I uninstalled the drivers in vista and now I want them back. I can’t seem to find a way to reinstall them without reinstalling all of vista. Please help or link me to a website that hosts the default drivers.
    Thanks.

    Most new hardware designed to be used with Vista does NOT come with it’s own drivers because they’re expecting the driver to already exist within vista’s file repository. Do yourself a favor, avoid a huge headache, and don’t delete the file repository!!!

    After using “TakeOwnership” for FileRepository, still all files are write-protected. That cannot be changed.
    Neither is it possible to grant full control permissions to users nor to delete any of the files in the folder.
    In Vista64, the folder reclaims 2 GB.
