Registry Compact (SSD)

Boggin:
I don't advocate using registry cleaners but running Disk Cleanup as an admin will clean out the WinSxS folder of old Windows updates and if never been done before can free up a few GBs, then run Winmend Registry Defrag.

Willy2:
- Does running the "Disk Clean Up" tool reduce the size of the registry ?

Boggin:
No, it's more about disk space but I've gotten into the habit of running Winmend after uninstalling a program which does leave a gap in the registry when using a 3rd party uninstaller.

I'll also run it after the monthly run of Disk Cleanup and before I defrag - sometimes the % can be high and other times not after the removal of old updates.

Boggin:
To have Disk Cleanup check the WinSxS folder in Win 7 for obsolete updates, the easiest way is to go Start - type disk cleanup - right click on Disk Cleanup and select Run as administrator, but it is dependent upon having an update released in October 2013.
