Hello,
I'm running a VM with Windows Server 2012 R2 as a file server.
After the system was running fine for several months, the winsxs folder started to grow (specially winsxs\pendingdeletes and winsxs\pendingrenames).
Currently this two folders are occupying about 40GB disk space.
I am aware of the fact that winsxs should not be touched, but this condition seems to me unusual and I'd like to somehow get my space back.
Solutions I could find in the forums did not work (folder cleanup, etc.).
Thanks for your help,
Jens
