Use Disk Cleanup. This removes superseded updates. Did you even read my post? How is a feature of an installed os relevant to the question i asked? What i wanted to see is something along the lines of this: Updates removed since december 2014 - march 2015 (for me at least) IE11-Windows6.1-KB2956283-x64 IE11-Windows6.1-KB3008923-x64 IE11-Windows6.1-KB3025390-x64 Windows6.1-KB2785220-x64 Windows6.1-KB2847311-x64 Windows6.1-KB2926765-x64 Windows6.1-KB2952664-v7-x64 Windows6.1-KB3002885-x64 Windows6.1-KB3013126-x64 Windows6.1-KB3013455-x64 Windows6.1-KB3023266-x64 Windows6.1-KB3023562-x64 Windows6.1-KB3029944-x64 I had a hunch some updates were obsolete by now, therefore after some googling on how to compare folder contents, found out that these ones are no longer relevant. Btw is there a website to check which updates were superseded, my google fu gave me irrelevant results.
