MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Simple answer is No without breaking windows. Elements of it can be slimmed down or removed. Plenty of third party apps around that claim it can be done!Can even slim the folder down in a live installation by using Dism. Search in Google is your friend!

MagicAndre1981 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 If you mean the folder under sources, you can delete this folder. This folder contains the .net 3.5 files.When you activate .net 3.5 later, Windows downloads the files from the Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aelibey Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) I managed to reduce the WinSxS foldersize to under 200 mb on W8.Everything is working except Updates and NetFX 2.0, 3.5 install. Edited May 8, 2013 by aelibey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
