Windows directory Clean up List


Recommended Posts

I was wondering... is it safe to remove all *.inf & *.ini files from your

Windows directory?

If not, what are the after effects?

This is how my cleanup list looks like:

DEL /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\*.*"
DEL /S /Q "%systemroot%\*.log"
DEL /S /Q "%systemroot%\*.txt"
DEL /S /Q "%systemroot%\Temp\*.*"

RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\addins"
RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\Config"
RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\Connection Wizard"
RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\Cursors"
RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\java"
RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\Lastgood.tmp"
RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\Lastgood"
RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\msagent"
RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\msapps"
RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\RegisteredPackages"
RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\system32\oobe"
RD /S /Q "%systemroot%\system32\ras"
RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Program Files\Online Services"

Is it wise to do like this what I have?

I would like to know how your cleanup list looks like, post some!

Thanks in advance

If I was you id leave all that stuff alone, not like you save masses of space from it so whats the point. Also why would you ever want to delete cursors?

hmm maybe you are right, but I never use other cursors.

I dont use those fancy cursors so its waste of space.

I want to make my UA cd so lite as possible. :P
