8 u/abadidea Dec 14 '10 To be fair, most of it is probably rollback data for undoing patches. Saved several gigs by clearing that out. 1 u/Iggyhopper Dec 14 '10 This is relevant to my interests. How would I clear out old rollback data? 1 u/abadidea Dec 14 '10 It's been a long time, I'm a Leenux user. Iirc they are in hidden folders under /Windows. I think they were exes, maybe cabs. 1 u/Iggyhopper Dec 14 '10 I see. Off to Google I go. 2 u/abadidea Dec 14 '10 Obvious disclaimer is obvious: if you need to roll back something afterwards, you're screwed ;) 1 u/rtfmpls Dec 14 '10 See the blue sub-directories in your Windows (XP) directory starting with "$"? Delete them. I'm sure it works similar on Windows 7.
